The intro/v1. and 2 are accompanied by organ.These are the Guitar Chords as played
along with the record.Thought i'd post it as it's that time of year.

This is played along with the chord sequence

Intro: Am

V1.
        E         F                     E       Am
I was a good kid    I wouldn't do you no harm
        E         F                   E         Am (*)
I was a nice kid    with a nice paper-round
           E          F            G            Am
Forgive me   any pain  I may have brung to you
           E           F               G            F
With God's help I know   I'll always be near to you
                  G                     A
but Jesus hurt me   When He deserted me  but

Chorus:
          Dm          F                G
I have forgiven Jesus   for all the desire
                             C                          Cadd9/C  Am
He placed in me when there's nothing I can do with this desire

V2.

      E                         F           E                   Am
I was good kid through hail and snow I'd go   just to moon you 
             E                F                    G                      F
I carried my heart in my hand   do you understand?   do you understand?
                  G                     A
but Jesus hurt me   when He deserted me  but

Chorus:
          Dm          F                G
I have forgiven Jesus   for all of the love he placed in me
             C                            Cadd9/C
when there's no one I can turn to with this love

Bridge: 

Am                 E
Monday-humiliation  Tuesday-suffocation
F                       E
Wednesday-condescension  Thursday-is pathetic
   Am             E
by Friday-Life has killed me
   F              E
by Friday-Life has killed me

Key Change Interlude:

Dm         Am
Oh pretty world
Dm         E
Oh pretty world

End piece:
           Am                  E                  F
why did you give me so much desire? when there is nowhere I can go
   E                                   Am
to offload this desire? and why did you give me so much love
    E                             F
in a loveless world? when there's no one I can turn to
   E                                    Am
to unlock all this love and why did you stick me in
                 E                 F         E
self-deprecating bones and skin Jesus-do you hate me?
            Am                           E
why did you stick me in self-deprecating bones and skin
                       F                              
do you hate me? do you hate me? do you hate me?
        E                        Am  
do you hate me? do you hate me?
