OK, this song has some of the weirdest chords I've ever played.
Still:  a great song, even with just one acoustic guitar. I added
a few notes here and there to spice up the single strings a little.

Standard E tuning

Verse riff with corrresponding chords. The guitars improvise a lot,
especially on the C chord.

Lyrics:

Ramshackle
 
been ramshackled uclers knocking at my door 
ive kept it together trippin in a dead boys orb 

yearning for her snow rose city lights, the seasons swirl 
and i dropped my shiver in light forever.. 

so lets just get out of this mess 

and pick a tender with no reply 
my girl i cant live without her 
her soul ill sink without her 

pretty us, pretty wild, pretty tears 
in her face 

so lets just get out of this mess 

i might have to medicate before i go bezerk 
im down in on empty but i wish i wasnt 

ashes to ashes dust to dust 
i dropped my shiver and light forever.. 

lets just get out of this mess
