The chords (How I play them) are as follows:

     G  C  A  C
  e|-3--3--3--3-|
  B|-3--3--3--3-|
  G|-0--0--x--0-|
  D|-0--x--2--x-|
  A|-x--3--0--3-|
  E|-3----------|
Repeat that sequence throughout the song.
The song is in 4/4 timing, each chord plays out one bar with 8 strums per bar.


G                   C
People all get ready, 
               A             C      G
cause we're tearing down the stand,
                           C
rebuild what's got unsteady,
                 A             C       G
and see it through with newer hands...
                C
What has gone between us,
           A              C   G
there's a lot, there's a lot.
                       C
And who'll be there to clean us,
            A                C
when you're not, when you're not...

People all get ready,
cause we're breaking down again,
re-write what's got unsteady,
and see it through with wiser hands...
And what has gone before us,
there's a lot, there's a lot.
And who'll be there to ignore us,
If you're not, If you're not...

             G                   C
 And we have all the time in the world
           A                C
 to get it right, to get it right...
             G                   C
 And we have all the love in the world
          A              C
 to set alight, to set alight...

People all get ready,
cause we're breaking up the band,
re-write what's gone already,
and see it through with angry hands...
And what has gone before us,
there's a lot, there's a lot.
And who'll be there to ignore us,
when you're not, when you're not...

 And we have all the time in the world
 to get it right, to get it right...
 And we have all the love in the world
 to set alight, to set alight...

People all get ready,
cause we're coming to a stop.
