you can see in live vids seanny boy plays the c#m as a am shape bar chord alternating muting the low E string
and playing it with the G# (C#m/G) to give it a lil bass line... he get a lil fancy with the intro but doesn't
really do that in the electric studio version but its the same chords they're both awesome though-
the following I found on bananachords.com and adjusted slightly because some chords were off.
play along with the song to nail the strumming/transitions, the first and last lines of the chorus are like
a four on the floor kinda deal and there are stings and it swings-
[Intro]
C#m C#m/G# C#m C#m/G#
[Verse I]
E C#m C#m/G#
Though you can't intimidate the trees
C#m C#m/G# E C#m C#m/G#
A snowman sweating in a terrible breeze
[Chorus]
G# F# Bm
Put on your new pants move out to France
G G#m
All the skeletons in your closet
F# B
Are rummaging through your clothes
G E
Looking through your shoe boxes and pockets
A G# C#m C#m/G# C#m C#m/G# C#m
Gum wrappers and dumb love no____tes
[Verse II]
E C#m C#m/G#
People say your brain is like cream cheese
C# C#m/G# E C#m C#m/G#
Takes the shape of anything you please
[Chorus]
G# F# Bm
The dust from the trails under your fingernails
G E
The leaves in the Luxembourg Garden
F# B
Are showing their true colors
G E
They're blushing they're begging your pardon
A G# C#m C#m/G# C#m C#m/G#
'Cuz time's a jealous lover
[Bridge]
C#m E (x76454)
I recall the first time
D# G#
That you passed me by
C#m F#
And I saw my demise
A G#
In your stained glass eyes
[Solo]
C#m... E C#m C#m/G# C# C#m/G# E C#
[Chorus]
G# F# Bm
The dust from the trails under your fingernails
G E
The leaves in the Luxembourg Garden

They're blushing they're begging your pardon
A G# C#m C#m/G# C#m C#m/G#
'Cuz time's a jealous lover
[Verse III]
E C#m C#m/G# C#
Canary singing through the calico teeth
E C#
Everything's exactly what it seems
