Basically this song (off of the luxurious Queen Is Dead album) is all simple chords with that Johnny Marr touch. The E chord during the verse, for example, is played by stroking the high E string and then moving up with the stroke. It is not that difficult. Here it is: 

E 
I was minding my business lifting some lead off 
E 
The roof of the Holy Name Church 
E 
It was worthwhile living a laughable life 
E 
Just to set my eyes on a blistering sight 
                C#m 
Of a vicar in a tutu 

He~s not strange 
        A                           B 
He just wants to live his life this way 

E 
A scanty bit of a thing with a decorative ring 
E 
That wouldn~t cover the head of a child 
E 
As Rose collects the money in the cannister 
E 
Who comes sliding down the banister 
               C#m 
The vicar in a tutu 

He~s not strange 
        A                           B 
He just wants to live his life this way 

E 
The monkish monsignor with a head full of plaster 
E 
Said, -my man, get your vile soul dry-cleaned- 
E 
As Rose counts the money in the cannister 
E 
As natural as rain he dances again 
           C#m 
Vicar in a tutu 

Oh yeah 
   A    B 
Oh yeah... 

E     E     E     E 

           C#m 
Vicar in a tutu 

Oh yeah 
   A      B 
Oh yeah... 

E 
The next day in the pulpit with freedom and ease 
E 
Combating ignorance, dust and disease 
E 
As Rose counts the money in the cannister 
E 
As natural as raihe dances again and again and again 
                    C#m 
And the fabric of a tutu 

Any man could get used to 
    A             B 
And I am a living sign 

             C#m     A   B 
I~m a living sign.... 
             C#m     A   B 
I~m a living sign.... 

that is basically the song in it~s entirety...
