D-DU-UDU
And the band played on as the helicopter whirred
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
My senses finally blurred.
He was a rock to the end a solid reminder
Couldn't deny a friend
We lived in the noise and the sweet amber poison
Peekin' up the skirt of the end
G C G ----+

C D7 |(the chords for
Much like plates of black food |this half just
|repeat those
We filled up our faces, saw some far places |of the first
|half)
Stood on the roof in the nude. |

the rest of the verses just repeat that pattern:
