The E chord during the verse, for example, is played by stroking the high E string and then moving up with the stroke. It is not that difficult. Here it is:
E
I was minding my business lifting some lead off

E
The roof of the Holy Name Church

E
It was worthwhile living a laughable life

E
Just to set my eyes on a blistering sight

                C#m
Of a vicar in a tutu
He~s not strange
        A                           B
He just wants to live his life this way

E
A scanty bit of a thing with a decorative ring

E
That wouldn~t cover the head of a child

E
As Rose collects the money in the cannister

E
Who comes sliding down the banister

               C#m
The vicar in a tutu
He~s not strange
        A                           B
He just wants to live his life this way

E
The monkish monsignor with a head full of plaster

E
Said, -my man, get your vile soul dry-cleaned-

E
As Rose counts the money in the cannister

E
As natural as rain he dances again

           C#m
Vicar in a tutu
Oh yeah
   A    B
Oh yeah...
E E E E
           C#m
Vicar in a tutu
Oh yeah
   A      B
Oh yeah...

E
The next day in the pulpit with freedom and ease

E
Combating ignorance, dust and disease

E
As Rose counts the money in the cannister

E
As natural as raihe dances again and again and again

                    C#m
And the fabric of a tutu
Any man could get used to
    A             B
And I am a living sign

             C#m     A   B
I~m a living sign....

             C#m     A   B
I~m a living sign....
that is basically the song in it~s entirety... -----so i broke into the palace with a sponge and a rusty spanner she said, "i know you, and you cannot sing" i said, "that's nothing you should hear me play piano" -morrissey
