Quite a simple song to play, yet very cool.
The chords I use are all barre, with the root on the 6th string.
Intro riff:

E|--1--1--3--1--4--1--6--4--|
[F]All aboard Cleopatra purrs... aha
Pens and swords, the gun's mightier
A mane of gold like a flame from a skull
Upon the wings of an angel
We'll leave this hellhole
Little boy lost down devil's alley
The mad Alsatian can almost taste me
Merrily merrily in terror I flee
Into the glow of traffic like a lava flow you'll see me
[G]Every time I dance
Every time I dance with you
I'll [Bb]stagger out the nightclub black and blue, battered and bruised
I [F]care not
But I [Ab]care not
[Bb]Shotgun
[F]Shotgun
[Bb]Shotgun
[F]All aboard Cleopatra purrs... aha
Pens and swords, the gun's mightier
A mane of gold like a flame from a skull
Upon the wings of an angel
We'll leave this hellhole
[Bb]Mack the Knife, strolling down the street
The Surgeons in the slaughterhouse, spice their diced meat
[F]Merrily merrily in terror I flee
Merrily merrily in terror I flee
[G]Every time I dance
Every time I dance with you
[Bb]I'll stagger out the nightclub black and blue, battered and bruised
[F]I care not
[Ab]But I care not
[Bb]Shotgun
[F]Shotgun
[Bb]Shotgun
[F]I care not
I care not
[Ab]But I care not
[Bb]Shotgun
[F]Shotgun
[F]Shiny gun, shiny gun
Shiny gun, oh boy
Shiny gun, shiny gun
It's time for the showdown
