Here's my personal favourite by Blur:
 
Verse 1:
 
     B               E              F#        (E)
Holy man tiptoed his way across the Ganges
    B              E            F#            (E)
The sound of magic music in his ears
B             A           E
Videoded by a bus load of touristis
B                     E             F#        (E)
Shinny shellsuits and drinking lemonade 
B                 E                      F#          (E)
Now I got a funny feeling which I bought mailorder
B               E              F#                    (E)
From a man in a teepee in California
B                  A               E
Said he once was a great game show performer
B                    E       F#                      (E)
Then he blew all his money away
F#
Blew it all away
 
 
Chorus:
 
           B
So take me home
             E
Don't leave alone
             F#
I'm not that good
                 E
But I'm not that bad
          B
No psycho killer
         E
Hooligan gorilla
           F#
I dream to riot
              E
Oh you should try it
            B                E
I'll eat parole get gold card soul
           A           F#
My joy of life is on a roll
          B          E           F#
And we'll all be the same in the end
                    B       E  F#  E
Then you're on your own
 
 
 
Verse 2:
 
Well we go happy day glow in the discos
The sound of magic music in our brains
Someone stumbles to the bathroom with the horrors
Says lord give me time for I've jumped into space
I'm in outter space
 
Chorus
 
 
Middle Section:
 
B       E       F#   (E)
La lala la lala lala
B       E       F#   (E)
La lala la lala laaa 
B       A       E
La lala la lala lala
B       E       F#   (E)
La lala la lala laaa
F#
Lala Laaaaa

Some chords in the chorus are placed in the wrong order but it's the right stuff and shouldn't be too hard to figure out for any player! I'd like to add that the riff is playing the B and E in the e-shape going from minor to major like this: [tab]e|-----------7------0-2-2-0-| B|-7---7-----7--------2-2-0-| G|-7h8-7h8p7-8--0h1---3-3-1-| D|-9---9--------2-----4-4-2-| A|-9---9--------2-----4-4-2-| E|-7---7--------0-----2-2-0-|[/tab]

Chorus is simply the A D E D progression from the verse, one chord per line of lyrics.
