 I know Dpower isn't a chord, but it's a root and fifth, so it's basically a power chord.
 The  and  probably aren't  and  either, but pretty close to in a  shape.
I  was running
 From imaginary vampire bats
 I was shrieking at the moon
 While Montezuma laughed
 Oh, Aztlan blues
 And reds and greens and golds
 I hope that I die
 When I'm 100 years old
Looking  like a New Yorker cartoon
Sleeping  in a golden cocoon
 With you
 I was making love
 To my sister from another life
 I was stitching seams of my opium dreams
 With a needle from a camel's eye
 If I could give myself some advice
 I'd go out of my mind right now
 I'd stay here with my baby
 Forever in the here and now
 Looking like a New Yorker cartoon
 Sleeping in a golden cocoon
 With you
 With you
 D Dadd Dpower Dadd
 I was returning my salute
 To the Lieutenant paper bag
 And my best friend, Farmer Dave
 Lit me up so I could take a drag
 My sister's former flame
 Threw his shirt into the fire
 An aging child prodigy
 A genius who inspired
 Looking like a New Yorker cartoon
 Sleeping in a golden cocoon
 With you
 With you
 With you
