Claxxons Lament by Frog Eyes

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.
  Chord diagramA minorAm      Chord diagramE minorEm         Chord diagramC majorC        Chord diagramFF
And he embraced Sarah, who was the bride of his old age
   Chord diagramA minorAm      Chord diagramE minorEm       Chord diagramC majorC          Chord diagramFF
And Sarah hugged Billy, who was born of her sweet, sweet womb
     Chord diagramC majorC      Chord diagramFF
And no-no-no-nobody shall die,
     Chord diagramC majorC      Chord diagramFF
And no-no-no-nobody shall die,
     Chord diagramC majorC      Chord diagramFF
And no-no-no-nobody shall die,
         Chord diagramC majorC  Chord diagramE minorEm
Until I've got money in my hand...

     Chord diagramA minorAm     Chord diagramE minorEm        Chord diagramC majorC       Chord diagramFF
It was silence that begot them, the purpose of their ways
Chord diagramA minorAm     Chord diagramE minorEm      Chord diagramC majorC          Chord diagramFF
Lord, the Father, the Beggar, with his two, two hands
      Chord diagramA minorAm         Chord diagramE minorEm    Chord diagramC majorC        Chord diagramFF
From that time, the post will pull, and push against the sky
     Chord diagramA minorAm      Chord diagramE minorEm          Chord diagramC majorC    Chord diagramFF
But, oh baby, baby I know, I know that the night's too slow,
     Chord diagramC majorC       Chord diagramFF
And no-no-no-no-nobody shall die,
     Chord diagramC majorC       Chord diagramFF
And no-no-no-no-nobody shall die,
     Chord diagramC majorC       Chord diagramFF
And no-no-no-no-nobody shall die,
        Chord diagramC majorC  Chord diagramE minorEm
'Til I've got money in my hand,
        Chord diagramC majorC  Chord diagramE minorEm
'Til I've got money in my hand,
        Chord diagramC majorC  Chord diagramE minorEm
'Til I've got money in my hand,
        Chord diagramC majorC  Chord diagramE minorEm
'Til I've got money in my hand,
       Chord diagramC majorC          Chord diagramE minorEm
Oh I was a singer, and I sang in your home,
     Chord diagramC majorC          Chord diagramE minorEm
I was a singer, and I sang in your home,
     Chord diagramC majorC          Chord diagramE minorEm
I was a singer, and I sang in your home,
           Chord diagramC majorC                     Chord diagramE minorEm
But it don't mean nothing man, nothing man, until you got some money in your hand,

Oh oh...
