I've only seen one sets of chords out here on the internet but they didn't sound quite
right so I studied Dallas Green play it live and acoustic and made my own version which I
believe is correct.
Capo on the 4th fret. Standard tuning.

The whole intro part is played twice.
When playing Am7 he does pulloffs and hammer ons with his 1st finger on the B string and
also hammers on with his pinky on the high e string on the 3rd
fret. When playing C with the G base he first does a pull off and a hammer on
with on the B string, then with the 2nd finger on the D string and after
that a pull off with his 4th finger on A string but if you do this you must move your
second finger to the A string which makes a new chord which I can't name for the life of
me. Play around with these, he
does them different every time.
Verse
Am7Northwest is where I'm headed,
Underneath the golden C/Gsky
I'm sAm7earching for a wisdom
That every man seeks to C/Gfind
I've got Am7wicked thoughts a brewin'
Many evil deeds I've dC/Gone
I'm lAm7ooking for a reason
For a reason not to C/Grun
Chorus (notice the Em7 isn't a regular one)
I've Emalways been dark
Dsus/2F# Em7 -> Em7*(slide)
With light somewhere in the distance
Verse
I've Am7got no destination
No place to call my C/Gown
I'll explAm7ore the constellations
Till I find the course I mean to C/Ghone
But come fAm7ever or come famine
Come the biting winter C/Gcold
Just put two Am7coins upon my eyelids
So I can pay the poor man's C/Gtoll
Chorus
I've Emalways been dark
Dsus/2F# Em7 -> Em7*(slide)
With light somewhere in the distance
I've bEmeen so unforgiving
Dsus/2F# Em7 -> Em7*(slide)
Stranded in old traditions
I've Emalways been dark
Dsus/2F# Em7 -> Em7*(slide)
With light somewhere in the distance
Bridge
Played twice
Dsus2/F# Em CG
I've Emalways been dark
Dsus/2F# Em7 -> Em7*(slide)
With light somewhere in the distance
