The basic chords for this song are Am Em Dm, I'm sure you can figure that out based on 
the song how the rhythm goes.  I think it sounds better if you CAPO on the 5th fret 
transposing into the fingerings of Em Bm Am.  You can try what you like.

CAPO 5 (optional)

In the first degree
Baby, would you
Would you flee with me?
