[Verse 1]
B7                A                  G    C/G
That was the last New Year I'll ever see
            G                  C/G
And I wanna stay on that magic mountain
          G                   C/G
With lost souls and beautiful women
Am                       C/G  G
I drank some of Farmer's potion
            Am             C/G  G
And we were moving in slow motion
 
[Chorus]
    C/G         G
The slower, the better
    C/G         Em      Am
The slower, the better
                      Am           C/G  G
'Cause there's no one old on magic mountain
               Am                C/G  G
There's no one old, old on magic mountain
 
[Verse 2]
B7                    A                G  C/G
And that was the very last barn I'm burning
           G            C/G
So for now everyone is dancing
           G                C/G
As if it's any time but the present
           Am                C/G   G
So for now every young thing in my path
                Am             C/G     G
I'll hold their face so long inside my hands
 
[Chorus]
    C/G         G
The longer, the better
    C/G         Em      Am
The longer, the better
                      Am           C/G  G
'Cause there's no one old on magic mountain
               Am                C/G   G
There's no one old, old on magic mountain
 
[Verse 3]
B7                    A
The wine has all been emptied
               G    C/G
And smoke has cleared
          G                C/G
As people file back to the valley
       G                    C/G
On the last night of life's party
               Am                       C/G G
These days the years thin till I can't remember
             Am                       C/G  G
Just what it feels like to be young forever
 
[Chorus]
       C/G      G
So the longer I stay here
    C/G               Em     Am
The longer there's no future
               Am           C/G  G
So I'm growing old on magic mountain
            Am                C/G  G
I'm growing old, old on magic mountain
 
[Outro]
B7 A
G C/G (repeat to fade)

A good way to play it if you don't want to tune all the way down is to play with a capo on the first fret in standard tuning. Transposing these chords down 3 steps still keeps the chords sounding open. Tricky to do the hammer ons and stuff though. Good tab!
