Taken from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqRT9ICJ1a0
He plays the entire thing with bar chords, so B on 7th and F# on 2th. E is played as an ordinary E.
Lyrics are also not 100% correct because there weren't any online so I had to listen by ear.

B E B
Young James McGill was born alive

The doctors rescuing him with knives

A doctor came with a blue zeal

To seal the world, to heal the boy
E B E F#
He would no longer have to feel
E B F# B
oo-ooo-ooo-oo-o-oo-o-oo-ooo
B E B
So built a fortress in his manger
B E F#
So made a sun made out of paper

So forged a friend of wind and vapor
E B E F#
Oh come on James for godness sake, oh

From a spark to a flame to a fire in the rain
E B F# B
To a smolder in sky that brings tear to your eyes

That will lift to the clouds what will rain when you die
E B F# B
Ladadada, Ladadada, Ladadada Ladadada
E B F# B
Ladadada, Ladadada, Ladadada Ladadada
B
Then one day,
B
Then one day,
B E B
Then one day old James he died
B E F#
His cold heart still his body's white
B E B
But still he rose up to the sky

He rolled his eyes
E B
Began to cry
E B E F#
Hello Goodbye was just a lie
E B F# B
oo-ooo-ooo-oo-o-oo-o-oo-ooo

This song will end
