Only giving one chord - the rest should be pretty standard. During the
verse, to add authenticity, the Dm7 chord can be interspersed with the Em11
chord. This is the easiest chord in the world. Just strum all the strings open.
The Cmaj7 chord can be interspersed with the C6 chord, which is a little harder...

Dm7 --------------------- Cmaj7 -----------------
I brought you some francs from my travelling chest

You'll spare me the thanks 'til you know I'm the best

So come Hogmonay when love comes in slurs
Dm7 ---------------- G ---------------------- E7 ---

We threw our hands up high we, nearly touched the sky,

We clicked our heels and spat and swore

When he'll feel the fall of honest rain

I came from high land where the hopefuls have to hesitate

Why the words were never worth the wait

In pastel paper pink over grey

The poor excuse they peddle as their prose.
(as before)
Dry your tears, tie your tongue
And you're never sixteen
And I'll give you a glimpse
Of the hard and the clean
And my travelling chest will be open to you
And boy will you learn that you haven't a clue

It hit me when I left him
- F#m ------------- Db7 -------------
I felt the rain and called it genius,
F#dim ----------
Called it genius.
(Repeat Chorus)
