D# C D A Verse 3:
Em Em/D# Beauty she poisons
A Am unfaithful all
Em Em/D# Stifled, her touch is

A Am children Chorus: (Played as barre chords)

G B A5 Nature's luke-warm pleasure That's it. Took much longer to write out than expected. In the third verse, he just strums the chords, rather than picking them. I think he plays the A and Am like this:
A Am e|-5-| e|-5-| b|-5-| b|-5-| g|-6-| g|-5-| d|-7-| d|-7-|
a|---| a|---| e|---| e|---|
