Excellent song. I'll split it into 4 lead parts.

Synthesiser at beginning (similar to figure.1)

lead into verse:  C  D  (does anybody think this bit sounds like 
'Palace of the Brine' (Pixies))?

verse:(stacato)

 G           G#           F                 G#     Bb
Hey sleepy monster in the sand, time to get up and have a drink,
 G      G#                  F                  G#     Bb
Pacific rim has a tank that thinks,that she is really something grand

(Fig.4)
Let me tell you about when I was hanging out just in my dhoti,
Running in the dawn right across my lawn,I saw a coyote

C        D                 G             E
Ole Ole Ole for Mulholand, see the water fall,
C                     D               G                  E                              
And hooray hooray the sky is falling, down on Bradbury's mall
C       D
Ole Ole Ole for Mulholand

chords over solo:    G    G#   F   G#  Bb x2  (second time Fig.2)

(Fig.4)
All waxed in pride I got a comfortable ride,and man she could take us,
Out across the salts and out of these faults and on into Vegas.
So slept a monster,in the dune, woke him up and then he drank,
Pacific rim has a think tank, but does she have IQ for the moon?

E     G#   A    E
Brige (not sure if the lyrics are right here):
The concrete of the aquaduct,will last as long as the Pyrimads of Egypt,
Or the Parthanon of Athens, long after Joe Harryman is elected mayor of Los Angeles.

Fig.3 x4

chorus

End on: Em

Corrections welcome.

IMPORTANT:  All chords except E's played as an 'F' type bar.
