Comment: The chords have been worked out from a bass point-of-view.
Notation of majors, minors, 7th's are a guess only.

[Dm]
Holding council with the King and Queen
Tryin' hard to decide the fate of the regime
There's only [Bb]one thing needed to complete the harmonising
That's the [Dm]man with the voice like a scraping violin
[Gm]Waiting for [Am] Mr [Dm]Damage

Toothless jaws gumming melancholy stuff
A burst of rapid fire Spanish from the window up above
[Bb]Students out to pose in their studied disarray
Books of [Dm]Sartre, Marcuse openly displayed
[Gm]Waiting for [Am] Mr [Dm]Damage

Chorus:
[F]Mr Damage, [C]walks through the door of his sacrificial church
[F]Mr Damage, [C]meets you in the lobby and he'll leave you in the lurch
[Gm]Mr Damage, [Dm]stands at the altar, sermon of the search
[E]All the faithful [Bb]foll[Am]ow

[Dm]Resident winos, stumbling and lurching
Walking cadavers, smiling and searching
[Bb]Man with the D.T.'s looking at the feeble glossy [Dm]portraits
Of long dead celebrated people
[Gm]Waiting for [Am] Mr [Dm]Damage
[Am] [Gm] [Am] [Dm]

Bridge:
[Dm]Trying hard just to keep the candle lit
A leather flyer leaves the subway anxious to admit
That the marvelled one, so recently deposed was seen
[C]Three days later in a [Gm]brand new suit of clothes
A [Dm]brand new suit of clothes for a very special day
A brand new suit of clothes for a very special day
A brand new suit of clothes for a very special day
A [Am]very special day, a very special day
A very, very, very special day

Break:
[Dm] [Bb] [Dm] [Gm] [Am] [Dm]
[Gm]Mr Damage holds a curse[Am]
[Gm]Mr Damage drives a hearse[Am]
[Gm]Don't you know who did it first[Am]
Mr [B]Damage

[Em]Holding council with the King and Queen
Tryin' hard to decide the fate of the regime
There's only [C]one thing needed to complete the harmonising
That's the [Em]man with the voice like a scraping violin
[Am]Waiting for [Bm] Mr [Em]Damage

Chorus:
[G]Mr Damage, [D]walks through the door of his sacrificial church
[G]Mr Damage, [D]meets you in the lobby and he'll leave you in the lurch
[Am]Mr Damage, [Em]stands at the altar, sermon of the search
[F#]All the faithful [C]foll[Bm]ow

Outro:
[Em]Hold[Bm]ing [Am]fro[Bm]zen [Em]hands [Bm]as [Am]M[Bm]r      x 3
[Em]Dam[Bm]age [Am]holds [Bm]the [C#]curse
