      This is a piano based song that does not transfer well to guitar chords. This is as close as I could get.

D                   D6
Have you got just a minute
Dmaj7          D6
Are you easily mad
D                   D6
Let me show you the back room
Dmmaj7              C#7
Where I saw the dead
C             C6
Dancing like children
Cma7           C6
On a midsummer morn
Cmmaj7                  B
And they asked me to join
Cmmaj7                B7
They asked me to join
D                D6
But my body was stubborn
Dmaj7                D6    
Wouldn't let me give in
D                D6
So I offered a good deed
Dmmaj7           C#7
In return for a sin
C                             C6
Now they've got me where they want me
Cma7           C6
In this daily parade
Cmmaj7        B
And I walk unafraid
Cmmaj7     B7
I walk unafraid
D                D6
But the crowd's are all laughing
Dmaj7          D6
At my every mistake
D                   D6
And its making my neck hurt
Dmmaj7              C#7
And I feel like a fake
C             C6
How can I even stand here
Cma7           C6
Like I've something to say
Cmmaj7            B
I got nothing to say
Cmmaj7           B7
I got nothing to say
D                     D6
And it feels like I'm changing
Dmaj7                D6   
Keep forgetting my way
D                     D6
So I asked an old stranger
Dmmaj7              C#7
And he led me astray
C                             C6
It's something we're missing darling
Cma7           C6
So let's wander instead
Cmmaj7                B
And I'll show you the back room
Cmmaj7          B7
Where I saw the dead
D                D6
And we will be thankful
Dmaj7          D6
And we will be fed
D             D6
You take the torso
Dmmaj7              C#7
And I'll take the head
C                   C6
It's something we're missing darling
Cma7           C6
So let's wander instead
Cmmaj7            B7
And I'll show you the back room
Cmmaj7            B
Where I saw the dead
