[Intro]
G/E G/F# Em G/E G/F# G (x2)
[Verse 1]
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
You can hold her hand and show her how you cry
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
Explain to her your weakness so she understands and then roll over and die
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
Well you can brave decisions before you crumble up inside
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
Spend your time asking everyone else's permission and then run away and hide
[Chorus]
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
You can sit on chimneys put some fire up your ass
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
No need to know what you're doing or waiting for but if any one should ask?
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
Tell them I've been licking coconut skins and we've been hanging out
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins and relieve us our doubt
[Instrumental]
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G (x2)
[Verse 2]
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
You can hold her eggs But your basket has a hole
G G/F# Em
You can lie between her legs And go lookin' for:
G G/F# G
Tell her you're searching for her soul!
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
You can wait for ages and watch your compost turn to coal
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
But time is contagious: Everybody's getting old
[Chorus]
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
You can sit on chimneys put some fire up your ass
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
No need to know what you're doing or looking for but if any one should ask?
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
Tell them I've been cooking coconut skins and we've been hanging out
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins and relieve us our doubt

Overall I think you did a good job here but it seems to me that the song starts with the G and I think when your playing Em you pull the finger on the D string second fret on and off. If you listen to the song you can hear a slight variation in the sound. Well I hope I added something worth while. Once again good job on it and thanks.

This is what I do:
G: DDU UDU x3
G: DDU
G/F#: DDU
Em: DDU UDU x3
Em: DDU
G/F#: DDU
Repeat as needed
