He's tuned a bit sharp (no capo) in the recording so it's really dissonant
unless you tune up a bit (~A=450hz?).

[Intro]
Gmaj7/B D/A
Gmaj7/B D/A
[Verse 1]
Gmaj7/B
Oh no! I am lacking
D/A
I want what I see.
Gmaj7/B
You, fireball, have rolled away
D/A
And shaded valleys.
Gmaj7/B
So here I am the creekbed,
D/A
So here I feel my way in the dark
Gmaj7/B
What wonder, what treasure map?
D/A
What breaking of day?
Gmaj7/B
What stream used to flow here,
D/A
And now what dusty decay?
[Chorus]
Em9/A
Let the flash flood begin.
D/A Em9/A
Wash me down the canyon.
D/A Em9/A
Quicksand pull me in!
D/A Em9/A
Blow over me solar wind! La-da-da-da...
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7/B D/A
You're vultures in trees.
Gmaj7/B
I know you're out there
D/A
You're lanterns on lakes.
Gmaj7/B
I know you're out there
D/A
You're soccer balls on knees,
Em9/A
And through your skirt I see,
D/A
Your legs gracefully,
[Outro]
Gmaj7/B
I know you're out there
D/A
You're swaying and pleased
Gmaj7/B
I know you're out there
D/A
You're vultures in trees,
Gmaj7/B
I know you're out there
D/A
Your mountainous peaks
[Chorus Outro]
Em9/A
Don't let gravity win
D/A Em9/A
Blow over me solar wind
(fade out)
