C   F   C   F   C   F
 
[Verse 1]
C           F         C      F
They made a statue of us
C           F             C      F
Then put it on a mountain top
C            F                 C      F
The tourists come and stare at us
     C                  F
Blow bubbles with their gum
     C                F         C    F    C    F
Take photographs have fun, have fun
C              F          C      F
They'll name a city after us
C         F                C      F
And later say it's all our fault
C                      F
Then they'll give us a talking to
C                      F
Then they'll give us a talking to
C                 F              C      F
Cause they've got years of experience
 
[Chorus]
      C/E        F              Am       G
We're liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiving in a den of thieves
C/E          F              Am G
Rumaging for answers in the pages
      C/E        F              Am       G
We're liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiving 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   F   (x2)
 
[Verse 2]
C           F                   C      F
We wear our scarves just like a noose
C                F            C      F
But not cause we want eternal sleep
C              F                  C      F
And though our parts are slightly used
C            F                   C      F
New ones are slave labor you can keep
 
[Chorus]
      C/E        F              Am       G
We're liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiving in a den of thieves
C/E          F              Am G
Rumaging for answers in the pages
      C/E        F              Am       G
We're liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiving 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

They made a statue of us
          F             C      F
Our noses have begun to rust

i think the chorus sounds more accurate as Em, F, C, G

I like the chorus better as Am F/C C G. Of course I haven't listened to the recording recently, so I can't promise it's accurate. In my mind's ear it really starts on a minor though (and not a maj7 even though there is a minor inside of that).
