Capo on 1
D2 is a C formation slid up the neck 3 frets. A regular D works as well but it is 
played on the album like that.

G5                                      D5                          G5
I kept the little French girl tucked behind my eyelids
C5                                             G5                          D5
Three times to the hour ?till her glass reached the bottom
       G5                                              D5                          G5
And come around the time that she turned around the corner
C5                                  G5                           D5         G5    C5 G5
The days till I get gone became twice as long
                                    C5
Oh she?s something like a whisper
                                           G5             C5 G5
Through the Friday evening noise
                                   A5          C5
Though we never got to talking
                                             G5        C5 G5
And thought I never heard her voice
                                      C5
I know that melody she?s singing
                                 G5            C5 G5
I hear it in the missing wind
                                         D5          G5          C5                 D5            
It leaves me standing in the emptiness of something 
                    G5         C5 G5
that never did begin
  G5                                    D5                   G5
I left that dirty bedroom stained into my day clothes
C5                                                G5                     D5
One time from my own love and one time from another
       G5                                          D5                        G5
And come the shadow morning I called upon my old friends
        C5                                       G5                        D5          G5 C5 G5
They rearranged their faces and payed out at the corner
                                       C5
Oh it was something like a whisper
                                         G5        C5 G5
Through the Friday evening noise
                                             A5         C5
Though we should have got to talking
                                                    G5         C5 G5
And though I should have used my voice
                                       C5      
There?s that melody we?re singing
                             G5         C5 G5
I miss it in the leper wind
                                         D5       G5          C5                     D5
It leaves me standing in the emptiness of something
                           G5
 that never should begin
