I used Hackenbush's tab, which is great by the way, I just made it into basic chords.
Song is in 3/4 -- Capo on 4th fret
GSadBmie, CwhiBmte coat
Gyou carrBmy me homCe Bm
And burGy tBmhis CbonBme
and takeG this piBmne cone C Bm
BmBurDy this AmbonCe to
GGnaw on it latGmaj7er
EmGnawing on the telephone
BmUntil thDen, we pray and Amsuspend C
The notGion that these liGmaj7ves do neveEmr end
GAnd all day long we talk about mercy
GLead me to water, Lord, I sure am thiCrsty D G
GDown in the ditch where I nearly served you
GUp in the clouds where he almost hearCd you D G
CAnd all that we built and all that we breathed
EmAnd all that we spilt, or pulled up like weeds
GIs piled up in back and it burns irCrevocably D G
EmAnd we spoke up in turns 'til the silence crepCt over me D G
GAnd bless you, aBmnd I deeply do C Bm
No longer resoluGte, oBmh anCd IBm call to you
GBut the watBmer goC soBm cold
And you doG lose whBmat youC don't hold Bm
This is an oldBm song, theDse are oAmld blues C
G Gmj7 Em
And this is not my tune, but it's mine to use
And the seaBmbirds whereD the fear Amonce grew C
GWill flock with a fury aGmaj7nd they will burEmy what'd come for you
GAnd down where I darn with the milk-eyed mender
GYou and I, and a love soC tender D G
GStretched on a hoop where I stitched this adage:
G"Bless our house and its heCart so sDavage" G
CAnd all that I want, and all that I need
EmAnd all that I've got is scattered like seed
GAnd all that I knew is moving awCay from me D G
EmAnd all that I know is blowing lCike tumbleweed D G
And the Gmealy worms in tBmhe brine will buCrn Bm
In a salGty pyre Bmamong the fauns Cand ferns Bm
And the love Gwe hold, anBmd the love we spurn C Bm
Will never grow Gcold, onBmly tacitCurn Bm
And I'llG tell yoBmu tomorrCow Bm
GSadie, gBmo on homCe now Bm
And blesGs those Bmwho've sickened Cbelow Bm
And blesGs us whoBm have chosen so C Bm
CAnd all that I've got and all that I need
EmI tie in a knot and I lay at your feet
GAnd I have not forgot, but a silence creCpt over meD G
EmSo dig up your bone, exhume yourC pine cone, my Sadie D G
