Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Various noise, then D7 into...
 First verse:
where  is your  mother,  where is your  father,
two  little children, locked  in a cupboard.
Into  the wide  world, high  on the high  wire,
What  would you give  to fly away,  away, away, away, awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay?
 Same chord progression for the second verse:
 Girl with the flower, boy with the hammer,
 Lost in a forest, on another planet.
 Find me the exit, find me the way home,
 Find all the love they took away, away, away, away, away.
 coming off of D7):
 Cos your head,  is a brick  wall,
 And your heart,  is a football
 And your eyes,  broken windows,
 when you cry,  it's a good  day to die.
 well-tabbed on other GDTD tabs), the chords are similar to the verse,
 with a bit of a change:
 By measure:
 Then, D7 back into the chorus chords.
 Once through the chorus normally, but instead of playing the last C transcribed above
 go right back into the Em to begin the next time through the chorus. Then...
 Cos your head,  is a brick  wall,
 And your heart,  is a football
 And your eyes  (?), it's  a good day...
Today...
Today...
Today.......today......today.....
 The outro seems to be messing back and forth with a C and a Cadd9.
 Enjoy! Hope this works better than the others.
