This is a favorite, I'm glad I can contribute it for the benefit of others because
it's been a simple but satisfying song to play. There are a couple recordings of this
song and Jeff Mangum sings different lyrics for some of the lines but the chords are
the same.

It's the same three chords repeated throughout, he holds the C chord in a couple places.
For I am an engine and I'm rolling on
the world is all bending and breaking from me
(or:through endless revision to say what I mean)
for sweetness alone who flew out through the window
and landed back home in a garden of green
you're riding alone in the back of a steamer
and steaming yourself in the warm shower spray
and water rolls on off the round captains belly
who's talking to tigers from his cafeteria tray
and your sweet babies cry for the cool taste of milking
that milky delight that invited us all
and if there's a taste in this life more inviting
than wake up your windows and watch as those sweet babies crawl
awaaay yeah mmm mmm mmm dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee
