Melodica Notes: Directly from Zach via FRs site.
First part:
[Bb] [Eb] [D] [F] [G]
[F] [G] [F] [Eb]
The harmony part starts and ends the same, but diverges in between:
[Bb] [Bb] [D] [C]
Verse I
[C]Anne, lets die in some dim town
My [G]brown eyes wait to weigh us down
The [Am]candles round the tub will drown
[Dm]In our after-[Dm7]noons
[C]Music from our evening parlor
[G]Darker than the autumn hour
I [Am]gave my child twenty dollars
For [Dm]tearing at our [Dm7]moons
-banjo solo-
Verse II
[C]Dark damp men muddied our house
[G]In my dreams to bleed your blouse
I [Am]smiled from my sleep to douse
The [Dm]horror of this [Dm7]hour
[C]Our boy on dark hills blurry crawling
[G]His rain-glazed shaking porches falling
The [Am]homes of all his friends just sprawling
[Dm]Withering like [Dm7]flowers
Verse III
[C]Anne, Ive loved you from a boy
No [G]other autumn could destroy
The [Am]town our winds fused to enjoy
[Dm]Whispering dark [Dm7]farmlands
[C]Tearing moons, these moons are tearing
[G]Swearing terror inside their daring
[Am]Crumbling prayers, dark autumns faring
[Dm]Straight out of our [Dm7]hands
End with a couple more runs through the chords
