Okay, here goes...This is played capoed at the first fret.
The chords for the 'O the new children' parts are all the same.
Listen to the song to find out how it goes.
*****
The Amantique people are Ddown in the dungeons
AmRun by machines and Dafraid of the tax
Their Amheads in the grave and their Dhands on their eyes
AmHauling their hearts around Gcircular tracks
PreFtending forever their Cmasquerade towers
Are Gnot really riddled with Gsus4widening cracks
GAnd I wave goodbye to iron
FAnd smile hello to the Gmair
O the Gmnew children Fdance I am Ebyoung
All Daround the Gmballoons I will Flive
EbSwaying by Dchance I am Gmstrong
To the Fbreeze from the Ebmoon I can Dgive
GmPainting the Fsky You the Ebstrange
With the Dcolors of Gmsun Seed of Fday
EbFreely they Dfly Feel the Gmchange
F Eb D Gm / F / E D G
As all become one Know the Way, know the Way
G / / / (x2)
The Gvelocity addicts Cexplode on the highway
IgGnoring the journey and Cmoving so fast
Their Gnerves fall apart and they Cgasp but can't breathe
They Grun from the cops of the Cskeleton past
PetriFfied by tradition in a Cnightmare they stagger
GInto nowhere at all and then Bblook Amup FagGhast
GAnd I wave goodbye to speed
FAnd smile hello to a Gmrose
O the new children play I am young
Under juniper trees I will live
Sky blue or grey I am strong
They continue at ease I can give
Moving so slow You the strange
That serenely they can Seed of day
Gracefully grow Feel the change
And yes still understand Know the Way
GThe king and the queen in their BbcasAmtle Gmof billFboards
GSleepwalk down the hallways BbdraAmggiGmng beFhind
GmAll their possessions and BbtranAmsient GmtreasFures
GmAs they go to worship Bbthe eAmlectGmronic Fshrine
COn which is playing the Eblate late commercial
In that Fhollowest house of the Copulent Gblind
GAnd I wave goodbye to Mammon
FAnd smile hello to a Gmstream
O the new children buy I am young
All the world for a song I will live
Without a dime I am strong
To which they belong I can give
Nobody owns You the strange
Anything anywhere Seed of day
Everyone's grown Feel the change
Up so big they can share Know the Way
The Cvaudeville generals Bbcavort on the Cstage
And shatter their audience with Bbsubmachine Cguns
And Freedom and Violence the Bbacrobat Cclowns
Do a balancing act on the Bbgraves of our Csons
(single notes mostly matching melody - suggested tab -->)

While the tapdancing Emperor sings "War is peace"
(N.C.)
And Love the Magician disappears in the fun
GAnd I wave goodbye to murder
FAnd smile hello to the Gmrain
O the new children can't I am young
Tell a foe from a friend I will live
Quick to enchant I am strong
And so glad to extend I can give
Handfuls of dawn You the strange
To kaleidoscope men Seed of day
Come from beyond Feel the change
The Great Wall of Skin Know the Way
DThe bloodless husbands are Cjesters who listen
Like Dsheep to the shrieks and comCmands of their wives
And the Dmen who aren't men leave the Cwomen alone
DSee them all faking love on a Gbed made of Fknives
ADfraid to discover or Ctrust in their bodies
And in Dsecret divorce they will Gnever surFvive
GAnd I wave goodbye to ashes
FAnd smile hello to a Gmgirl
O the new children kiss I am young
They are so proud to learn I will live
Womanwood bliss I am strong
And the manfire that burns I can give
Knowing no fear You the strange
They take off their clothes Seed of day
Honest and clear Feel the change
As a river that flows Know the Way
The Amantique people are Dfading out slowly
Like Amnewspapers flaming in Dmind's suicide
AmGodless and sexless diDrectionless loons
Their Amsham sandcastles disGsolve in the tide
They Fput on their deathmasks and Ccompromise daily
The Gnew children will live for the BbeldAmers Fhave Gdied
GAnd I wave goodbye to America
FAnd smile hello to the Gmworld
