CAPO I (all chords relative) 
 
Note: the chord name "D7/9(1,2,3,(5),b7)" is too cumbersome for a tab, so I  
abbreviated it to "D7/9".and essentially, it's a C7 (x32310) which, in this  
song, is slid up two frets following a C for a sweet slide sound.it's fairly  
common in Americana/Folk music and sounds really, really cool.

Verse 1: 
G5                                  
Rain beatin' down on a midnight moon 
                           C5   
Oh baby, I'll be leavin' soon 
         G5 
Take me away 
    G5                            
The winds are howlin' like an old freight train 
                                 C5 
Oh babe these are the winds of change 
         G5 
Take me away 
 
Chorus: 
                 C5                           
'Cause I've been sittin' on the front porch 
                      G5 
Watchin' the world go 'round 
            C5               E5                    
Through the eyes of a fool, head like a rock 
   G5                 D5  D5  D5 D5           
My whole world tumbling down 
G5                                         
Rain beatin' down on a midnight moon 
                           C5  (slide) D5 
Oh baby, I'll be leaving soon 
         G5                   
Take me away

Verse 2: 

Grass around your ankles in the field before the flood 

You're a rough-cut diamond in the Mississippi mud 

Take me away 

I'm a two-time loser with my guitar and my gun 

You're a mover and a shaker and a lover in the sun 

Take me away
