Machine Gun Fellatio was an experimental/alternative rock band from Sydney, Australia that formed in 1997. They were well-known for their on-stage antics and humorous lyrics, as well as their outrage-provoking name (apparently coined after being spotted in some graffiti).
The first release was a collection of songs by themselves and two other bands - The Libertines (Australian band) and Limebunny. The three groups weren't completely separate - there was some overlap between members.

(Notes: Capo on 3rd fret. Either that or you can just play it without, but it'll sound strange if you play along to the album (strangely enough). Also, use a basic wah wah pedal for the album version. The live version (played by Love Shark) on an acoustic, is just strummed nicely. Work it out by seeing them live...they're incredible. But keep in mind I based this on the live version, so there may be slight differences).
The chords are Am: 002210 G: 230003 C: 032010 Fmaj7: 003210
Am I try to talk to you G Can't get past the weather Am The friend I thought I knew G Has found somethin', somewhere better Am So I'm hanging on your line G Thought we could speak together AmG Tell me what it is with you, you seem gone forever

(and then it continues in much the same way, I'm sure you're all capable of working it out).
I know what could've been. Try not to think about it Found it hard to live wi' this, and long to live without it But my dreams have caught me out, I found my self surrounded By the odds of our own end enough said about it
I'm spendin' all my time driven round thinkin' clever With a girl who seems all right and another one who's better I don't know if I lied when I said we're not together But I try to talk to you, some how you seem gone
I've given up some thing, I guess that doesn't matter I've started other things, I guess that doesn't matter But I finally wrote your song, another unsent letter In a pile addressed to you, c-/ of somethin', somewhere better

I'm spendin·all my time driving round fakin' clever With a girl who seems all right and another one who's better I don't know if I lied when I said that I'm together But I try to talk to you, some how you seem gone forever Yeah, but I try to talk to you, some how you seem gone forever Yeah, but I try to talk to you, some how you seem gone forever Yeah, but I try to talk to you, some how you seem gone
