Standard tuning for this song, for both chords and tab. This is a pretty simple song to just bash away on, and a lot of fun. (Especially if you have a distortion pedal!!)
C G F A7
Eternal Life is now on my trail
C G F A7
Got my red glitter coffin, man, just need one last nail
C G F A7
While all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games
C G F A7
There's a flaming red horizon that screams our names
G
And as your fantasies are broken in two
Em
Did you really think this bloody road would
Pave the way for you?
D
You better turn around
A Em
and blow your kiss hello to life eternal, angel
C G F A7
Racist everyman, what have you done?
C G F A7
Man, you've made a killer of your unborn son...
C G F A7
Crown my fear your king at the point of a gun
C G F A7
All I want to do is love everyone...
G
And as your fantasies are broken in two
Em
Did you really think this bloody road would
Pave the way for you?
D
You better turn around
A7 A7-C-F#-F-B-A
and blow your kiss hello to life eternal....
A7 C F# F
There's no time for hatred, only questions
B A G
What is love, where is happiness, what is Life,
F
where is peace?
E
When will I find the strength to bring me release?
C G F A7
And tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said?
C G F A7
Man, It sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead
C G F A7
And I've got a message for you and your twisted hell
C G
You better turn around and blow your kiss goodbye
F A7 G - Em - D - A - G - Em - D - A - Em
to life eternal angel...

"A7" C
This tab is mainly derived from the version from Live at Sin-E. It's pretty comparable with what is played on the Grace version. I've added a little bit of the road version just, well, just because!
(Remember, ^ means hammer-on or pull-off, > means slide. I've invented some new notation for this song too, necessity being the mother of invention and all that. Somewhere there is a tilde, i.e. ~, which means sustain the note a bit. And I've finally had to tab some "bending", and the easiest thing to show bending up was /. So a 5/ means play fret 5 and bend up. OK? Simple!)
