These are the basic acoustic guitar chords at the bottom of it all.
The acoustic guitar is tuned one full step down (D G C F A D).

Alternatively, he tunes the guitar in a folk'ish D6-tuning (D A D F# B D)
and plays the song in G major. You could tune down accordingly to (C G C E A C).
(This tuning does indeed add some fortuitous flavors of notes to the chords.)

LYRICS
**********
oh, pour me another drink
And punch me in the face
You can call me Nancy
Every man wears a symbol
And I know I have mine
I've got my right hand stamped
in the concentration camp
where my organs scream "Slow down, man!"
ooh, how was I to know
that milk and honey flow
just a couple states below
ooh...
oh, hook me up to the tank
and roll me to the door
I'm going where my body leads me
I can fend for myself
with what looks I have left
I'll put away a few
And pretty soon
I'll be breaking things like Howard Hughes
ooh, how was I to know
milk and honey flow
just a couple states below
ooh, give me how it was
a place under the sun
before the Devil made me run
Run boy
Run boy
ooh...
