There are two simple progressions to this tune.
Standard tuning and, of course, all power chords.
(1) C - D - A# - F
C - D - A
(2) A# - G# - F
Put together, it will go something like this:
(1) x 4 - lyrics begin on number three
(2) x 1
(1) x 2
(2) x 1
(1) x 4 - lyrics begin on number three
A# into fade

And now, the approximate lyrics:
Down in the park where the mog men meet
The machine or plane killed my numbers
Down in the park with a friend called fire
I was in a car crash it wasn't the wall
But I never been quite the same
Little white lies, like I was there...
Come to town, town's the place to be
Like it was built in one day
You can watch the humans trying to run
Oh look there's a red machine
I'd go outside if it looked the other way
Wouldn't believe the things they do
Down in the park where the treasure's dug
Dug dug til the sunrise morning
Down in the park with friends of mine
We are not lovers we are not ro-
Man-tics we are here to serve
Different things but the words never change
