This is how I play it and it sounds pretty accurate...
Capo on 3
In parentheses is the capoed chord.
      Eb (C)              Ebmaj7 (Cmaj7)         Eb (C)
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---1--------0--------0----------------1----------------------------------|
G|-----0---------0----------------0-------0--------------------------------|
D|------------------------2-----2------------------------------------------|
A|-3------3---------3--------3-------3-------3-----------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
       Ab (F)                                     Eb (C)
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

G|-2----2---------2-0--------------0-----------0---------------------------|
D|-----------3----------------0h2------------------------------------------|
A|-3--3--------3--------3--------------3-----------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

For the chords I'll just put the capoed chords but the song is in Eb major for those who 
to mess around with the song...
Verse:
[C] If I get [C/B] murdered in the [Am] city  [G]
[F] Don?t go [G] revengin in [C] my name
One person dead from such is plenty
No need to go get locked away

Chorus:
[Am] When I [G] leave your [C] arms
[Am] The things that [G] I think [C] of
[Am] No need to [G] get over [F] alarmed  [C]
[C] I?m [G] comin home

Back to Intro

I wonder which brother is better
Which one our parents love the most
I sure did get in lots of trouble
They said to let the other go

A tear fell from my father?s eyes
I wondered what my dad would say
He said I love you
And I?m proud of you both, in so many different ways

If I get murdered in the city
Go read the letter in my desk
Don?t worry with all my belongings
But pay attention to the list

Make sure my sister knows I loved her
Make sure my mother knows the same
Always remember, there is nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name
Always remember, there is nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name


Thanks.
