NOTE: I've been corrected in the comments and they are good so I will summarize them here.
The main correction is a minor voicing change - the e-string plays a G during both chords of the verse riff...
the first and third times.
 
For verse 2, the C is played as I have written it below (e-string open), but the Fmaj7 is instead a F9
(substituting the E for a G on the e-string once more).
The difference is very minor - The F9 and Fmaj7 are functionally identical, the C is still a C,
but the result is a slightly more cheerful-sounding accompaniment to the brutal ways to die,
and as such helps sell that irony.
 
The other correction is the nomenclature for a tritone passing chord - I wrote F#5 to indicate
the function of a vii/V. the comments say Gmaj7no3/F# (F#-G-D) which just means the composer
only wanted the bass to pass in that beat instead of the vii/V.
 
Both corrections have been reflected in the music below.

Set fire to your hair
Poke a stick at a grizzly bear
Eat medicine that’s out of date
Use your private parts as piranha bait
 
CHORUS
C    C/B     Am    Em
Dumb ways to die
   F         F#/G5      G     F                (F#/G5: 2-x-0-0-3-x)
So many dumb ways to die

Dumb ways to die

So many dumb ways to die
END OF CHORUS
 
Get your toast out with a fork
Do your own electrical work
Teach yourself how to fly
Eat a two week old unrefrigerated pie
 
CHORUS
 
Invite a psycho killer inside
Scratch a drug dealer’s brand new ride
Take your helmet off in out of space
Use a clothes dryer as a hiding place
 
CHORUS
 
Keep a rattle snake as a pet
Sell both your kidneys on the internet
Eat a tube of superglue
(pause)
'I wonder what this red button will
do'
 
CHORUS
 
F        G      C            Em      F      G
Dress up like a moose during hunting season
   F        G        C        Em      F
Disturbed a nest of wasps for no good reason
G                      Am
Stand on the edge of a train station platform
G                                Am
Drive around the boom gates at a railroad crossing
G                                 Am
Run across the tracks between the platforms 
F                           G
They may not rhyme but they quite possibly 
 
ENDING CHORUS
C    C/B     Am    Em
Dumbest ways to die
C    C/B     Am    Em
Dumbest ways to die
C    C/B     Am    Em
Dumb ways to die 
   F
So many dumb
   F         G        C
So many dumb ways to die
