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 (x32010@1)                      
Anne, lets die in some dim town
   GMy (320003@1)brown eyes wait to weigh us down
    AmThe (x02210@1)candles round the tub will drown
Dm (xx0231@1)         Dm7
In our after-noons

CMusic (x32010@1)from our evening parlor
GDarker (320003@1)than the autumn hour
  AmI (x02210@1)gave my child twenty dollars
    Dm (xx0231@1)           Dm7
For tearing at our moons

-banjo solo-

Verse II

CDark (x32010@1)damp men muddied our house
GIn (320003@1)my dreams to bleed your blouse
  Am (x02210@1)I smiled from my sleep to douse
    Dm (xx0231@1)           Dm7
The horror of this hour

COur (x32010@1)boy on dark hills blurry crawling
GHis (320003@1)rain-glazed shaking porches falling
    AmThe (x02210@1)homes of all his friends just sprawling
Dm (xx0231@1)           Dm7
Withering like flowers

Verse III

CAnne, (x32010@1)Ive loved you from a boy
   GNo (320003@1)other autumn could destroy
    AmThe (x02210@1)town our winds fused to enjoy
Dm (xx0231@1)            Dm7
Whispering dark farmlands

CTearing (x32010@1)moons, these moons are tearing
GSwearing (320003@1)terror inside their daring
AmCrumbling (x02210@1)prayers, dark autumns faring
Dm (xx0231@1)                Dm7
Straight out of our hands



End with a couple more runs through the chords
