Chords:
It sounds best if you add a base note of G to the C chords and C to the Fmaj7.
Gives a fuller sound.
G chord sounds better if you play as shown (technically a G6add11 or Cmaj9)
Listen to the song for strum pattern - best to give emphasis on base notes.

[C/G]I work mornings in the old yard
[E7]digging in the ground
[Fmaj7]but I moonlight as an astronaut
[C/G]mostly just sit around and [G]howl
[C/G]won't you come to my house tonight
[E7]we could sleep on the floor
[Fmaj7]I got this window that looks out to Orion
[C/G]I paid extra for[G]
[Am]oh forget about the sun
[Em]he's forgotten us by now
Fmaj7 C/G (quiet strum)
kiss me so I remember how
[Am]we'll turn these sorrows into strangers
[Fmaj7]buy them a ticket on the train
[C/G]drop 'em off at the station
[E7]watch 'em ride far away
Fmaj7 Am C/G x3
far away . . .
Fmaj7 C/G G (end on C/G)
far away...
