Chords
Note: The chords in the instrumental sections may look complex, but the primary chords are just Am and Em,
and the variations only change the bass notes played with the chords to closer match the original song.
However, an easier alternative is to only play the chords Am and Em and ignore the bass note variations.

[Chorus]
C Em No sense of harmony, no sense of time C Em Don't mention harmony, say "What is it? What is it? What is it?" C Em Give a little shock, and he raises his hand C Em Somebody shouts out, says "What is It? What is it? What is it?"
[Post-chorus]
D Em He was shot down in the night! D Em People ride by but his body's still alive D Em The girl in the window what has she done? D Em She looks down at me, says "I don't want to die!"
