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
C
Anne, lets die in some dim town
G
My brown eyes wait to weigh us down
Am
The candles round the tub will drown
Dm Dm7
In our after-noons
C
Music from our evening parlor
G
Darker than the autumn hour
Am
I gave my child twenty dollars
Dm Dm7
For tearing at our moons
-banjo solo-
Verse II
C
Dark damp men muddied our house
G
In my dreams to bleed your blouse
Am
I smiled from my sleep to douse
Dm Dm7
The horror of this hour
C
Our boy on dark hills blurry crawling
G
His rain-glazed shaking porches falling
Am
The homes of all his friends just sprawling
Dm Dm7
Withering like flowers
Verse III
C
Anne, Ive loved you from a boy
G
No other autumn could destroy
Am
The town our winds fused to enjoy
Dm Dm7
Whispering dark farmlands
C
Tearing moons, these moons are tearing
G
Swearing terror inside their daring
Am
Crumbling prayers, dark autumns faring
Dm Dm7
Straight out of our hands
End with a couple more runs through the chords
