Wake up you sleepy head

Put on some clothes, shake off your bed

Put another log on the fire for me

I've made some breakfast and coffee

I think about a world to come

Where the books were found by the Golden Ones

Don't kid yourself they belong to you

They're the start of the coming race

The earth is a bitch, we've finished our news

Homo sapiens have outgrown their use

All the strangers came today

I think the little bit after "Looks as though they're here to stay should be different" (45-50 seconds on the recording)
Something like C/D#dim - C# - D/G#dim - D# - F/Bb - Fsus4 - F
Listen for the timings etc. Then it goes back into "What are we coming to..." back on the F#

Tricky song to tab for guitar but this gave me the general gist so thankyou!

This is super confusing. Why does it say to tune down a half step, but then it shows every chord a half step higher? It completely balances itself out, but makes learning the chords unnecessarily complicated. This doesn't make sense at all. Can't I just see the chords as they normally are? Is there a way to do that?
