The powerchords are based on the bass line. But you can also play the Dm C G F chords instead.
A wah wah pedal can help to reproduce the oppressive atmosphere.

[Verse 1]
Dm C G F Movement, no movement, just a falling bird Dm C G F Cold as it hits the bleeding ground Dm C G F He lived and died, catch sight, cover me with earth Dm C G F Draped in black, static white sound
[Chorus]
Bb C A day without substance, a change of thought Bb C An atmosphere that rots with time Bb C Colours that flicker in water Dm C G F A short term effect
[Instrumental]
D5 E5 C5 D5 G5 A5 F5 C5 (x4)
[Verse 2]
Dm C G F Scream, as she tries to push him over, helpless and sick Dm C G F With teeth of madness, jump jump dance and sing, Dm C G F Sideways across the desert, a charcoal face bites my hand Dm C G F Time is sweet, derange and disengage everything
[Chorus]
Bb C A day without substance, a change of thought Bb C The atmosphere that rots with time Bb C Colours that flicker in water Dm C G F A short term effect
[Outro]
Dm C G F A short term effect Dm C G F An echo, and a stranger's hand, a short term effect Dm C G F An echo, and a stranger's hand, a short term effect
