[Chords]
Jeff uses power chords I'm pretty sure, but the normal chords for C and F sound fine, too. And you can also
skip out on the Bb in the chorus riff as I mention below.
C:
d|-x-|
A|-x-|
F|-5-|
C|-5-|
G|-3-|
D|-x-|
F:
d|-x-|
A|-x-|
F|-x-|
C|-3-|
G|-3-|
D|-1-|
Bb:
d|-x-|
A|-x-|
F|-3-|
C|-3-|
G|-1-|
D|-x-|
A note on the chorus...
It uses these chords:
C Bb F
d|----x----x-----x-----------------------------------------------------|
A|----x----x-----x-----------------------------------------------------|
F|----5----3-----x-----------------------------------------------------|
C|----5----3-----3-----------------------------------------------------|
G|----3----1-----3-----------------------------------------------------|
D|----x----x-----1-----------------------------------------------------|
However, you can totally swing it just playing C and F as you do in the verses and skipping the Bb.
Either sounds great so whichever suits you.

[Verse 1]
CGrowing sleepy as the Frain falls
As Cchildren draped in flowers form a Fchain
They Csing a song with jelly jars and Fbird calls
As nCight falls into dust and it's dFay again
I'm Cnot afraid of a love parade in my Fdaydream
Old Cmen with kazoos and beating Fdrums
But CI awake and I see the streets are Fice cream
It's just Cyou and me and oh Fdear, our life has just begunC Bb
