This  comes from this acoustic session that Sam did. It's a very simplified version. 
Works for me, hopefully everyone else finds it helpful.

Capo II

C (x32010@1)May your eyes be wide and seeing
F (133211@1)May your learn from the view where you're kneeling
C (x32010@1)Know the fear of the world that you're feeling
G (320003@1)Is the fear of a slave

C (x32010@1)May you know how the fight was started
F (133211@1)Want as much for the snake as the garden
C (x32010@1)                     G (320003@1)Wear them both like a glove
               C (x32010@1)That you can wave

C (x32010@1)May your mouth betray your wisdom
F (133211@1)May you get what they fail to mention
C (x32010@1)May your love be your only religion
G (320003@1)Preach it to us all

C (x32010@1)May you lose what you offer gladly
F (133211@1)May you worship the time and it's passing
C (x32010@1)                 G (320003@1)stars won't ever wait for you
                C (x32010@1)to watch them fall

Am (x02210@1)We're the smoke on a burnt horizon
F (133211@1)We're the boat on a tide that's rising
C (x32010@1)Both the post and the pig you're untying
G (320003@1)Butcher gone for the blade

Am (x02210@1)Someday we may all be happy
F (133211@1)Someday all make a face worth slapping
C (x32010@1)Someday we may be shocked to be laughing
G (320003@1)At the way we behave

C (x32010@1)May your hands be strong and willing
F (133211@1)May you know when to speak and to listen
C (x32010@1)May you find every friend that you're missing
G (320003@1)There's no check in the mail

C (x32010@1)May you end up bruised and purple
F (133211@1)Know that peace is the shape of a circle
C (x32010@1)                  G (320003@1)Round and round you go
              C (x32010@1)Biting your tail

(Bridge: C F C G C)

Am (x02210@1)We're the children and the wind is whipping
F (133211@1)The short hands on the clock still ticking
C (x32010@1)Both the egg and the red fox grinning
G (320003@1)His belly full for the day

Am (x02210@1)Someday we may all want nothing
F (133211@1)And all forget that we'll get what's coming
C (x32010@1)Someday all say the world was something
G (320003@1)That we just couldn't change

C (x32010@1)May your tongue be soft and wicked
F (133211@1)Know your part in the calf and the killing
C (x32010@1)See straight through the captain you're kissing
G (320003@1)Helm loose in his hand

C (x32010@1)May your words be well worth stealing
F (133211@1)Put your hand on your heart while singing
C (x32010@1)                  G (320003@1)Choirs sick of the song
                      C (x32010@1)But they still gotta stand

C (x32010@1)G (320003@1)C
