A charming little song we have here. Had it stuck in my head for days and knew I wanted to learn it. Fortunately, it is quite simple to play: you only need three chords, and the majority of the song is transitioning between two of them.
Lyrics and chords

G ... / D ... / G ... / D ... / (freely, repeat as desired)
D ... / D ... / D ... / D ... / (build up before beginning verse)
VERSE
G D G G
I want to tell you a story the only way that I can
G D G D
I'm just replacing a man that came before------ me
G D G D
One day the world is going to see another man replacing me
G D G D
That's just the way it's gotta be, it's always been---- that way
CHORUS
A G D
On the--------- dark side of the moon
A G D
On the--------- dark side of the moon
( G / D / G / D )
I want to love you, I want to pass it on
I want to give, and give, till it's all gone
I want to know you, while we have the time
'Cause that's all I got to leave behind
( G / D / G / D )
I want to love you, I want to pass it on
I want to give, and give, till it's all gone
I want to know you, while we have the time
'Cause that's all we've got to leave behind
( A / G / D / D )
On the--------- dark side of the moon
On the--------- dark side of the moon
( G / D / G / D )
And when you stumble, you look the other way
And when you're riding high, Oh lord when you're riding high
( A / G / D / D )
They-------- don't expect you to stay
( G / D / G / D )
I want to love you, I want to pass it on
I want to give, and give, till it's all gone
I want to know you, while we have the time
'Cause that's all I got to leave behind
( G / D / G / D )
I want to love you, I want to pass it on
I want to give, and give, till it's all gone
I want to know you, while we have the time
'Cause that's all we've got to leave behind
( A / G / D / D )
On the--------- dark side of the moon
On the--------- dark side of the moon
