Verse:
D(1) D6 D(1) C6 C C6 C C6 C C6
Unsuspecting brother .... doesn't know what to do
When everything just falls to the ground...
(same again)
He runs to find some cover, he doesn't have a clue
That his friend will never be found.
When he's informed, that he.... 
Chorus: [Over-drive/distortion]
Will never see the boy, will never see the boy,
Will never see him open his eyes.
We'll never see the boy, we'll never see the boy
We'll only hear his heavenly cries
Ooh yeah, ooh.    
D(2) A Bb G D(2) A Bb C
Ooh! Ooh!
After second chorus, the interlude ("While still you're
alive...") repeats:
D / A G F / / /
Chord progression before the song holds on C is
D / A G F E D C
After the power C which holds for
8 beats a D(2) is played and held for 8 beats.
The song finishes with an indecipherable sequence which seems to be just
C and D in no particular order. I just play this by repeating:
E-----------------------------------------------|
B---7---5---7---5---5---(7)---5-----------------|
G---7---5---7---5---5---(7)---5-----------------|
D---7---5---7---5---5---(7)---5-----------------|
A-----------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------|
The same chord progression described above is played (a little quicker)
after this little interlude and the song finishes like this:
C / / / / / / D
