Here's the lyrics with the chords being played. This was the best I could get.

(The following are barre chords, except for the E, which in barre form, is just an E basic chord.)

	E	B
Well, these legions	of lesions that I've aquired

	E	B
Are suggesting the	best thing to do is retire

	E
But here comes	the dumb thing

	F#
I've got	to do something

	A
Or demons of lo	ve

	B
Will descend	from above

	E
So I've let go of t	he rope

	F#
Yes, I've abandoned a	ll hope

A B(played hard 4 times)

Before this pushing comes to more shoving

Yeah, stay away from Los Angeles

B(hard)

If what you want to find there is loving

(Riff 1)

(Riff 2)

	E	B
Now these legions of	lesions that we've aquired

	E	B
Are suggestin	g the best thing to do is retire

	E	F#
But here's just a sl	iver of what they'll deliver

	A	B
A kick to t	he head and a shot to the live	r

	E
So we've let go of the	rope

	F#
Yes, we've abandone	d all hope

A B(4 times hard)

Before this pushing come to more shoving

Now stay away from Los Angeles

B(hard)

If what you want to find there is loving

(Riff 1)(Riff 2)

Yeah, loving

Alright, loving

Loving

D=Distortion

	E(D
So squash me flat as a di	me

	B(D
In the middle	of my prime

	E(D	B(D
With the gentleness	of a biblical do	ve

	E
So we've let go of th	e rope

	F#
Yes, let's abandon	all hope

A B(4 times hard)

Before this pushing comes to more shoving

	E
Now stay away from Lo	s Angeles, mmmhhmmm

	B
	Stay away from Los Angeles

E B(hard)

Let's stay away from Los Angeles if what you want to find there is loving.

Alright, loving

Loving

l-o-v-i-n-g, loving

Not too sure on the solo. It is kind of weird if you listen to it. Sounds like a keyboard is used in some of it. Also the solo has a sort of sliding motion to it. Didn't tab the solo, but if someone did, let me know.
