This sounds fine tuned normal but you can play it open 
D MajorD if you want it to sound
exactly like the song.
DmDm 
Bb majorBb DmDm
DmDm
Down the crooked road a ways
Bb majorBb DmDm
A augmentedA child's shadow hiding in the Briar
FF DmDm FF DmDm
Tending to a twisted heart
Bb majorBb 
G minorGm
that's bent and broken
Bb majorBb G minorGm
wounded and abandoned
A7A7 DmDm
left amongst the rotted root to rot
DmDm Bb majorBb DmDm
DmDm
Moon, crimson moon
Bb majorBb DmDm
Rose Marie's walking down the crooked road a ways
FF DmDm FF DmDm
All aglow, her fair white skin
Bb majorBb G minorGm Bb majorBb G minorGm
Portrait of beauty, angel to many
FF DmDm FF DmDm
Hears the hush crying from the briar
Bb majorBb G minorGm Bb majorBb G minorGm
Reaches in her hand to see what's the matter
C majorC G minorGm
and is dragged through the darkness
C majorC G minorGm
beneath the lonely cypress
Bb majorBb G minorGm
The town's beloved daughter
Bb majorBb G minorGm
carried to her death in the turbid waters
A7A7 DmDm
and set afloat downstream
DmDm Bb majorBb DmDm
FF DmDm FF DmDm
Whole town erupts, bursts into flame
Bb majorBb G minorGm Bb majorBb G minorGm
Parties go a-searching down the crooked road a ways
FF DmDm FF DmDm
Find old Rufus there drunk and asleep
Bb majorBb G minorGm Bb majorBb G minorGm
Fishing by the water must have killed our beloved daughter
FF DmDm FF DmDm
Can't hold back these waves of anger
Bb majorBb G minorGm
Tie a rope around his neck
Bb majorBb G minorGm
See if he still hollers
A7A7 DmDm
Another innocent soul hangs over the briar
DmDm DmDm DmDm
