This is merely an interpretation. It sounds almost perfect but I don't think it is
100%, either way it does me fine.
In the verse it's important to move the 3rd string up to the 4th fret when strumming the
If you listen to the song you should be able to gather what I mean.

Verse 1
Take the knowledge away, suck the breath from the clay
Break the bone to the ground, leave the soul where it's found
Asus (strike the chord twice then back to E)
Lead the soul where it's bound
Verse 2
Through the passage of time, one day soon to arrive
Silver bird in the sky, leave this world all behind
Leave this world all behind
Chorus
Taking over the world
They're taking over our world x2
(Play the verse chords once, then the singing begins again)
Verse 3
Looking out from inside, when you see what you find
Out of sight out of mind, meet the seed of mankind
Meet the seed of mankind
CHORUS
Break
Higher and Higher, spiralling through the sky
Vertially rising through a white wall of space
It's Further and further, pushing on through the clouds
Perfect response to falling from grace
No need to look for you are found,
Need to speak I hear the sound
On the street
Oooooooooooooh
Solo
(Chords are the same as for the break (above))
Chorus x2
Now you're learning to
fly
And it ends on
