This is the way the acoustic iTunes session version is done, also shown in this video:
There's another version of this song up here but it didn't have the intro and violin bit, so here it is:
[Guitar 1 intro 1]
-Played five times

[Guitar 2 (violin part)]

When intro 2 starts Guitar 2 can strum an Em chord until the verse starts.
Rest of song:
[Verse 1]
Em G D I'm waking up to ash and dust A Em I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust G D * I'm breathing in the chemicals Em G D A I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus Em G D This is it, the apocalypse A * Whoa-oh
[Chorus]
Em G I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones D A Enough to make my system blow Em G Welcome to the new age, to the new age D A Welcome to the new age, to the new age Em G D A Whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive Em G D (one strum) A (one strum) Whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
[Instrumental]
Em G D A (x2)
[Verse 2]
Em * G * D * I raise my flags, don my clothes A * Em * It's a revolution, I suppose G * D * painted red to fit right in A * Whoa Em G D A I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus Em G D This is it, the apocalypse A (one strum) Whoa-oh
[Chorus]
Em G I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones D A Enough to make my system blow Em G Welcome to the new age, to the new age D A Welcome to the new age, to the new age Em G D A Whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive Em G D A Whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
[Bridge]
Em G D A All systems go, sun hasn't died Em G D A Deep in my bones, straight from inside
[Chorus]
Em G I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones D A Enough to make my system blow Em G Welcome to the new age, to the new age D A Welcome to the new age, to the new age Em G D A Whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive Em G D (one strum) A (one strum) Whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
