Intro: C  F/C  C  F/C  C  F/C  C  F/C
 
Verse
C           F/C         C    F/C
They made a statue of us
C             F/C               C    F/C
 And it put it on a mountain top
C           F/C                C    F/C
Now tourists come and stare at us
    C                   F/C
Blow bubbles with their gum
        C             F/C
Take photographs have fun, have fun
 
C  F/C  C  F/C
 
C              F/C         Cmaj7    F/C
They'll name a city after us
  C       F/C               Cmaj7    F/C
And later say it's all our fault
C                      F/C
Then they'll give us a talking to
Cmaj7                  F/C
Then they'll give us a talking to
  C             F/C           Cmaj7    F/C
Cos they've got years of experience
 
Chorus
      C/E  F    Am          Gsus4
We're living in a den of thieves
      C/E       F          Am   Gsus4
Rummaging for answers in the pages
      C/E  F    Am          Gsus4
We're living in a den of thieves
C/E               F
And it's contagious
Am          G
And it's contagious
C/E               F
And it's contagious
Am          G
And it's contagious
 
C  F/C  Cmaj7  F/C  (x2)
 
Verse
  C            F/C             Cmaj7    F/C
We wear our scarves just like a noose
C                  F/C          Cmaj7    F/C
  But not 'cause we want eternal sleep
C                 F/C              Cmaj7    F/C
  And though our parts are slightly used
C                     F/C         Cmaj7    F/C
   New ones are slave labor you can keep
 
Chorus
      C/E  F    Am          Gsus4
We're living in a den of thieves
      C/E       F          Am   Gsus4
Rummaging for answers in the pages
      C/E  F    Am          Gsus4
We're living in a den of thieves
C/E               F
And it's contagious
Am          G
And it's contagious
C/E               F
And it's contagious
Am          G
And it's contagious

All perfect except half a step up. Therefore in C# major. At least that sounds better when playing with the song. Otherwise good job!
