Didn't find the correct chords anywhere online, so I took 5 minutes to figure it 
out. Enjoy! Note: despite my best efforts to line the chords up with the words, 
the website seems to mess up the spacing when I post. Sorry...

Cm   Ab  (2x)

Cm       Ab     Cm    Ab    E#            Bb               E#       G7
Broken glass, rusty nails where the wild violets grow
              Cm            Ab               Cm               Ab
Say goodbye to the railroad, the mad dogs of summer
       E#     G               Cm
And everything that I know

         Ab                                     Cm
What some men will do here for diamonds
         Ab                                    Cm
What some men will do here for gold
            Ab                               Cm
They're wounded but they just keep on climbing
       Ab                                 G
And sleep by the side of the road


               Cm            Cm/B      E#/Bb            F
There's a hole in the ladder, a fence we can climb
Fm          Cm                D            G
Mad as a hatter, you're thin as a dime
      Cm          Cm/B            E#/Bb        F
Go out to the meadow, the hills are a-green
Fm            Cm         G               Cm    (Ab etc)
Sing me a rainbow, steal me a dream


Repeat this structure 


Small-time Napoleon's shattered his knees
But he stays in the saddle for Rose
And all his disciples, they shave in the gutter
And they gather what's left of his clothes

What some men will do here for diamonds
What some men will do here for gold
They're wounded but they just keep on climbing
And sleep by the side of the road       

Repeat bridge chords to end.
