Chords with lyrics
This is how I play the song. Suggestions and corrections welcome!
Off of 'Carey's Cold Spring.'
He plays it live with a capo on 3 so I'll write out both versions.

It was early in the morning when the battle horse arrived.
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC FF
And he embraced Sarah, who was the bride of his old age
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC FF
And Sarah hugged Billy, who was born of her sweet, sweet womb
C majorC FF
And no-no-no-nobody shall die,
C majorC FF
And no-no-no-nobody shall die,
C majorC FF
And no-no-no-nobody shall die,
C majorC E minorEm
Until I've got money in my hand...
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC FF
It was silence that begot them, the purpose of their ways
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC FF
Lord, the Father, the Beggar, with his two, two hands
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC FF
From that time, the post will pull, and push against the sky
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC FF
But, oh baby, baby I know, I know that the night's too slow,
C majorC FF
And no-no-no-no-nobody shall die,
C majorC FF
And no-no-no-no-nobody shall die,
C majorC FF
And no-no-no-no-nobody shall die,
C majorC E minorEm
'Til I've got money in my hand,
C majorC E minorEm
'Til I've got money in my hand,
C majorC E minorEm
'Til I've got money in my hand,
C majorC E minorEm
'Til I've got money in my hand,
C majorC E minorEm
Oh I was a singer, and I sang in your home,
C majorC E minorEm
I was a singer, and I sang in your home,
C majorC E minorEm
I was a singer, and I sang in your home,
C majorC E minorEm
But it don't mean nothing man, nothing man, until you got some money in your hand,
Oh oh...
C majorC E minorEm
(till the end)
