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
CAnne, lets die in some dim town
My Gbrown eyes wait to weigh us down
The Amcandles round the tub will drown
DmIn our after-Dm7noons
CMusic from our evening parlor
GDarker than the autumn hour
I Amgave my child twenty dollars
For Dmtearing at our Dm7moons
-banjo solo-
Verse II
CDark damp men muddied our house
GIn my dreams to bleed your blouse
I Amsmiled from my sleep to douse
The Dmhorror of this Dm7hour
COur boy on dark hills blurry crawling
GHis rain-glazed shaking porches falling
The Amhomes of all his friends just sprawling
DmWithering like Dm7flowers
Verse III
CAnne, Ive loved you from a boy
No Gother autumn could destroy
The Amtown our winds fused to enjoy
DmWhispering dark Dm7farmlands
CTearing moons, these moons are tearing
GSwearing terror inside their daring
AmCrumbling prayers, dark autumns faring
DmStraight out of our Dm7hands
End with a couple more runs through the chords
