(I'm French so sorry for my medium English)
This song must be played with energy, using some tricks like slapping or anything
that keeps the song stirring.
Energic doesn't mean fast: take it as you feel it (the album version is quite slow).
However, if you want to speed up, that's gonna be hard to play the original beat
Bass-Chord-Chord, it will be clearer if you only play Bass-Chord.

The bridge may be longer.
Don't hold the last chord, the effect is better.
Verse 2
Like the verse 1 :
[Am-C-Dadd9-F-E]
[Am-C-Dadd9-Fmaj7-E]
The only difference is that the two last chords Fmaj7 and E are played only once,
softly and slowing down (listen to the song).
Chorus
E7-Am-Bb-Am-G7-E
E7-Am-Bb-Am-G7 + -0--3--0--3-
Bridge 2
This part includes a little riff (I'm not gonna put it here) and some "oh-oh-oooh-oh".
The chords are like in the verse :
[Am-C-Dadd9-F-E]
[Am-C-Dadd9-Fmaj7-E]
Chorus
E7-Am-Bb-Am-G7-E
E7-Am-Bb-Am-G7-E
At the end, repeat the 4 last chords (Bb-Am-G7-E) 4 times and finish with -0--3--0--3.
Ending chord : Am
----------------------------------------------------------------
Oh my father [Am]said : "Just keep [C]silent
And in the [Dadd9]places where you've been
Nobody [F]will say you've been se[E]en."
And I go to the w[Am]oods once or [C]twice a year
And I sing [Dadd9]"doo-doo-doo" when they [Fmaj7]shave my ha[E]ir.
E7 Am
And I can see the vultures, the starving vultures
Bb Am G7 E
And the old man's ghost.
E7 Am
I can see the vultures, the starving vultures
Bb Am G7 E
Killin' two white goats.
Bridge : Am Am
And in the [Am]big big big [C]cities
I gave [Dadd9]all I [F]got ![E]
And I shared a [Am]secret with a [C]stranger
For he won't [Dadd9]say it to my [Fmaj7]fa----[E]ther.
E7 Am
And I can see the vultures, the starving vultures
Bb Am G7 E
And the old man's ghost.
E7 Am
I can see the vultures, the starving vultures
Bb Am G7 E
Killin' two white goats.
Bridge : Am-C-Dadd9-F-E
[Am-C-Dadd9-Fmaj7-E]
E7 Am
And I can see the vultures, the starving vultures
Bb Am G7 E
And the old man's ghost.
E7 Am
I can see the vultures, the starving vultures
Bb Am G7 E
Killin' two white goats
Bb Am G7 E
Killin' two white goats
Bb Am G7 E
Killin' two white goats
Bb Am G7 E
Killin' two white goats,
Oooh-oh-oh-oh-[Am]oh.
