Tuning: E A D G B E
The song is in 6/8. The strum pattern is all downstrokes until the end when he changes up the feel a bit. I tried to mark the chord changes at the exact moment that the respective lyric is sung. I hope this helps, because a lot of the time John Darnielle takes liberties with his melodies and phrases the words differently from line to line. A7sus4 (x02030) [Intro] D G A7 (x3) [Verse 1]

D G A7 until the end with occasional extended riffing on the D chord. Pretty song that's easy to play and sounds really good with just guitar and vocals.
