I can't believe no one has posted this one yet. A great song by one of the best artists around.

Intro/Riff1: E5 - A5 - Ab5 - F#5 - E5
verse: E5 - A5 - B5 - C#5 - B-{R1} - E5
chorus: {R2} - A5 - B5 - C#5 - B5 - A5 , B5 - A-{R3} - F#5 - E5
Riff2: E5 - F#5 - Ab5 - A5  (Basically riff1 inverted)
Riff3: A5 - Ab5 - E5 - F#5

*note: I think the F#m's might simply be F#5 , but it sounds more accurate to me as 
a minor chord when I play it.

Intro: E5 - A5 - Ab5 - F#5 - E5   {rpt}
E5                   A5
Whispers of ancients buried by dust,
B5                 C#5
Echoes of ages in canyons of rust,
    B5          {Riff1:    A5    Ab5  F#m}E5  {rpt riff1}
Is heaven so lonely? I'll know soon enough
{Riff2}
E5    F#5  Ab5  A5               B5
Cold as   the clay, dark as a mine,
         C#5 B5                 A5
Wasting away blood, sweat, and grime
            B5                 A5 {Riff3: A5 Ab5  E5 F#m}               E5 {Rpt R1}
Panning for gold, picking for dimes,  ly-in' & waiting for better times

{Verse} E5 - A5 - B5 - C#5 - B-{R1} - E5
The tools of the trade lie shopworn and old
The skills of the master done died with his soul
And the worklike routine is so lonely and cold

{Chorus} {R2} - A5 - B5 - C#5 - B5 - A5 , B5 - A-{R3} - F#5 - E5
Cold as   the clay, dark as a mine,
Wasting away blood, sweat, and grime
Panning for gold, picking for dimes,  ly-in' & waiting for better times

{Verse} E5 - A5 - B5 - C#5 - B-{R1} - E5
The land was converted, the river was moved,
The village expanded, some say it's improved,
But the lingering feature is a grim attitude

{Chorus} {R2} - A5 - B5 - C#5 - B5 - A5 , B5 - A-{R3} - F#5 - E5
Cold as   the clay, dark as a mine,
Wasting away blood, sweat, and grime
Panning for gold, picking for dimes,  ly-in' & waiting for better times
