Capo 5 

Am
By the end of the bout, he was punched out 
D
Fists capsized, muscles shouting 
G  G/F# G/F       C
Deeper down
                    Cm          G
He felt the insult of a kiss 

Am
Deeper still than we can go
D
Further out than triremes row
G   G/F#   G/F    C
Drowning slow 
      Cm             G
His memories persist 

Am
Out beyond the telescope's pry 
D
Up above the tallest Dutch dope high
G  G/F# G/F   C
He realized 
   Cm                 G
This mystery is his 

Em D C B
Am F Dmin G

Am           
Underneath the ocean floor
D
A part of who we are don't explore 
G  G/F#  G/F        C
I adore
   Cm         G           C   Em          
The meaninglessness of the this      
Cm         G
We can't express 

Em D C B
Em D C B

Am
By the end of the bout, he was punched out 
D
Fists capsized, muscles shouting 
G  G/F# G/F    C
Deeper down 
                   Cm                 G
He felt the comfort of a kiss

This is how I've been playing the intro and beginning of verses:

 

Capo 5

Amin
-----------------
-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-
-2-2-2-0-4-4-4-0-
-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-     2x
-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
-----------------

D
-----------------
-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-
-2-2-2-0-4-4-4-0-
-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-     2x
-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

The interlude (at least the first one) sounds something like

 

Em D C B

 

 

Am F Dmin G

 

The G is just a passing chord back into Am. Hope that makes sense. For the timing listen to the record.

 

Edit: These are all relative to capo 5

Second interlude's chords are just the Em D C B twice.

 

The verse that's a little different from the others goes something like this:

 

Am           
Underneath the ocean floor
D
A part of who we are don't explore 
G  G/F#  G/F        C
I adore
   Cm         G           C   Em          
The meaninglessness of the this      
Cm         G
We can't express 

 

Edit: Chords relative to capo 5.
