Raven In the Storm

He plays this with a capo on the 1st fret (or tunes up).
I've chorded it as if played in the first position.

Verse:
EmI'm the Dlatest CapparitioDn
EmCutting Dslices Cin the nigDht
EmI come tDhrough withoCut permissiDon
EmMoving Din and Cout of sighDt
I'm the tapping on your shoulder
I'm the raven in the storm
I'll take shelter in your rafters
I'm the shiver when you're warm
Chorus:
GI'm the gold in DCalifornia
CI'm the well in DMexico
Like thGe vultures in the Dvalley
I will Cwait for you to go
Em D C D (4x)
I'm the gypsy in your pocket
I'm the horseman in your dreams
I'm the reason dogs are barking
I'm the hand that stops the scream
I'm the baby's cry that isn't
I am the distant relative
I'm the scratching in the ceiling
I'm advice you shouldn't give
Chorus:
I'm the ghost of a traveling salesman
My foot will be there in your door
Though I can walk through walls and windows
I will knock just like before
I'm the darkness in your daughter
I'm the spot beneath the skin
I'm the scarlet on the pavement
I am the broken heart within
Chorus:
I won't take a train to nowhere
I will not touch just anyone
Ask a stranger why I'm waiting
In the chamber of a gun
Hint: At first, the strum pattern in the Verse/Intro seemed
somewhat awkward. Hitting all the "D" chords on the
UP stroke rather than the DOWN stroke seems right.
