Subsistence by Edwyn Collins,
from the album Gorgeous George
Notes:
A7 is be played a few different ways...
Where A7 is called for, play [- 0 2 0 2 0]
Where A7* is noted play [- 0 2 0 2 3]
D7 also...
D7 is [- 0 0 2 1 2]
D7(V) - [5 5 7 5 7 5]
D7(V)* - [5 5 7 5 7 8]
I suggest listening to the recording for the timing on the D7 - D7(V) - D7(V)* progression
There are two low E notes plucked off beat during the intro
Intro picking pattern is played very softly, strumming starts at the end

F#mThis place A7is neither Safe A7*nor sound
DThis house of cards F#7 Will tumble down
Bm D7 D7(V) D7(V)*
As befits A cardboard town
You're loCst in the ruins of your miFnd
As these fCour walls collide
As your whoGle worldG7 subsides
But yCou took it all in your strFide
As a matter of coCurse
Not a maGtter of prCide
E
ASo raise your glaC#7ss Let's celebrate
'Cause wF#me can force ThoA7se 'hanA7*ds of fate'
DNo need to hF#7eed the call for greed, for acquisition
Bm D7 D7(V) D7(V)*
Now I ain't puttin' you on This is my genuine position
[Chorus]
