There is a total of like six different chords used in this song and they
are pretty basic. The song starts out with an Em, A  progression,
in relation to the tuning.


     Em            A
|--------------0----------------------------
|----0-------- 2---2-2-3-2------------------
|----0-------- 2---2-2-2-2------------------
|--2-2---------2---2-2-2-2------------------
|--2-2---------0---0-0-0-0------------------
|--0-0---------0---0-0-0-0------------------


A                      Em           A                 Em
To  the  center  of  eden  ,  or  anywhere  god  decides          (and so on and so forth)


Then the next section where the guitar chords change is when Billy starts singing this:

   
And I want to live,  And I want to die, And I want to love, And I want to try

Throughout this part he plays a sort of an "F" chord and since I really don't know its
name I'll just call it the F* chord! And here's what he sounds like in the song,
along with his friend the "g" chord.

   F*               G
|--------------3----3-3-3-3-3-3-0-----------
|--------------0----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------
|--------------0----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------
|--------------0----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------
|-2-2-3-2------2----2-2-2-2-2-2-0-----------
|-1-1-1-1------3----3-3-3-3-3-3-0-----------

F*    G
     And I want to live,
F*    G
     And I Want to die…………….(so on)

Then he sings : "Black rubies are coming, to men in leather coats"  so you go back to the
'Em' and 'A' progressions.  And later returns to the
"I want to live, I want to die" verse with the F* and
G chords.But once he starts the line:
"so beats the final coda, of our vinyl storm"  

The progression changes to D and Em, in this part the song changes a lot both in rhythm
and beat, so a lot of people thought this was a different song completely.

Dm (no 3rd)         Em
|-0-----------------0------------------

Dm                              Em                    Dm
so beats the final coda  , of our final storm  , one more cherry cola   
Em
to lift up our dead arms


The final part of the song is at the very very end when
tricky little Billy changes the chords to make
this song sound even more badass!! And it goes a
little something like this:

 Dm        Em   Bm
|-0--------0--  0----------------------------------------
|-3--------0--  3----------------------------------------
|-2--------0--  4----------------------------------------
|-0--------2--  4----------------------------------------
|-0--------2--  2----------------------------------------
|-0--------0--  0----------------------------------------


Dm        Em
And she counted the spiders
Bm
As they crawled up inside her

Have Fun
