Capo: 3
This is someone else's tab just in an easier fingering.
The song is in Eb so any variation will work, but C shapes are the easiest in my opinion.

-Verse 1-
---------
Am When the wind picked uCp the fire spread G
And the grapevines seeDmed left for dead Am
And the Northern skCy looked like the end of days G
The end of days Em
Am The wake-up call Cto a rented room G
Sounded like an alDarm of impending doom Am
C G (hold twice as long)
To warn us it's only a matter of time
--------
-Chorus-

Before we all Amburn C G D
Before we all Amburn C G Em
Before we all Amburn C G D
Am C G (hold G)
Before we all burn

Am We bought some Cwine and some paper cups G
Near your daughters Dschool when we picked her up Am
And drove to a Ccemetery on a hiGll
On a hiEmll
Am And we watched the plCumes paint the sky graGy
But she laughed and Cdanced through the field of gravAmes
And there I kCnew it would be alrigGht
That everyDthing
