Bm (x24432@1)                                    
I never know what kind of day it is 
G (320003@1)         A (x02220@1)       Bmon (x24432@1)my battlefield of ideals
Bm (x24432@1)                                           
But the way she touches and the way it feels
G (320003@1)      A (x02220@1)         Bmmust (x24432@1)be just how it heals
A (x02220@1)                                             BmBut (x24432@1)it's got a little better since I let her sundance

Intro

I never know what time of year it is 
living on top of the fire
But the robin outside has to hunt and hide 
in the cold frosty shire
A (x02220@1)                                                                 BmAh (x24432@1)but he knows just what goes in between his cold toes and his warm ears
A (x02220@1)                                                      BmAnd (x24432@1)he's got no disguise in his eyes for his love as she nears

Em (022000@1) D/F# (200232@1) D (xx0232@1)
Am (5th fret)
C/Csus4 (3rd fret)
G (320003@1) Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now comes instrumental part and YOU TAKE OFF THE CAPO ! it ends with D/Dsus4 with NO CAPO.

D\Dsus4          EmHe (022000@1)spreads her a shelter
She takes the tall skies
As they helter skelter
Along the same sighs

Am (x02210@1)      Em (022000@1)   G (320003@1)     G/F# (320002@1)name="chord_022000@1">Em
She wakes my days with a glad face
She fakes and says I'm a hard case
She makes and plays like a bad ace
Carrying my days into scarred space
Am (x02210@1)             EmAnd (022000@1)she knows me well
Am (x02210@1)            
Ah but what the hell
Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1)     Em (022000@1)     G (320003@1)name="chord_320002@1">G/F#        EmOnly (022000@1)time can tell, where we're going to

Me and my woman
Me and my little woman

The sword slides out and the nations mourn
The hoard strides out and the chposen spawn
The devil rides out and the heavens yawn
Am (x02210@1)            EmAnd (022000@1)he knows me well
AmAh (x02210@1)but what the hell 
Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1)      Em (022000@1)    G (320003@1) G/F# (320002@1)    EmOnly (022000@1)time can tell, where we're going to

D (xx0232@1)                      AWhat (x02220@1)a day to play at living
What a mess we make
DWhat (xx0232@1)a trust we break
    A (x02220@1)                     DNot (xx0232@1)giving our wings to our children
         AO (x02220@1)how we fail them

D/Dsus4   A
Too far away
From the light of the day
       E (022100@1)   D (xx0232@1)     E (022100@1) 
And so near, and so here
Am (x02210@1)                    Em (022000@1)         D (xx0232@1)          EmCan (022000@1)i break through the silence that has taken my place
On the plains of the morning that i just could not face

EmAsking (022000@1)you these questions
telling you these lies
Enveloping directions
Developing disguise
Open to suggestions
       D/Dsus4          EmBut (022000@1)I'm closed to all my eyes
G (320003@1) G/F# (320002@1)name="chord_022000@1">Em      G (320003@1)   G/F# (320002@1)  EmDead (022000@1)on arrival, right where I stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand

EmSpace (022000@1)is just an ashtray
Flesh is my best wheel
The atmosphere's my highway
And the landscape's my next meal
I need my own Good Friday
        D/Dsus4                 EmAnd (022000@1)I'm trying my best to fix the deal
G (320003@1) G/F# (320002@1)name="chord_022000@1">Em      G (320003@1)   G/F# (320002@1)  EmDead (022000@1)on arrival, right where I stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand

EmI (022000@1)am the new crowned landlord
Of all beneath my star
Queueing up for doomsday
In my homesick motor car
Born before my mother
D/Dsus4        EmDied (022000@1)before my Pa
G (320003@1) G/F# (320002@1)name="chord_022000@1">Em      G (320003@1)   G/F# (320002@1)  EmDead (022000@1)on arrival, right where I stand

And the cuckoo she moves through the dawn fanfare
The dew leaves the rooves in the magic air
I feel a finger running through my nightmares lair
I feel most together with my nowhere stare
Am (x02210@1)            Emand (022000@1)you know me well
AmAh (x02210@1)but what the hell

Me and my woman
Me and my little woman
Me and my woman
Me and my little woman

uff, I made it. You can of course play it in a standard tuning with no capo,
but then you'd have to play the most of the song on very uncomfortable chords.
Anyway, great song :)
