I've tried to line up the chords as best as possible, as always, listen to the
song for best comparison. I'm sure this is right, then again, I have just spent an
hour I should've spent in bed working this out. I've actually worked out a lot of
the new album, will likely add them soon. The lyrics are makeshift, based on what
I could decipher, will update when the album comes out :D Enjoy! Sounds best
played on open chords!

Note: I initially had the verse second part of the verse chords as
Dm (xx0231@1) A (x02220@1) C (x32010@1) AAce (x02220@1)of spades, Port of Morrow, life is death is life.
for example, with another A in place of the F. It sounded right to me, but I went
by the bass and used an F, part of me is still unsure about it.
