/ Rufus Wainwright / I think this song is very hard to interpret as well
/ Peach Trees / as many other of his songs, but check out the website
/ Want Two / songmeanings.net, which always has a good input:

These chords are the way Rufus plays the song live. It's impossible to
transcribe from the album-version, and these work perfectly fine as well.
-When the same chord appears in a new shape, play the new one then and on.
-The symbol % means to just stay on the chord.
