A augmentedA beautiful song we hope to see on a forthcoming album.
Here's my rendition. Some chords I know are more complex
with the dual guitar interplay, but I think this is basically it.
I'm not sure about the transition chord in the prechorus,
where it shifts from some kind of E MajorE minor to an E MajorE major.
Also foggy is the Em7/Asus2 towards the end of the chorus.
Note the ending outro is different from the rest of the song.

NOTE: capo 3rd fret (so an E MajorE minor as noted here is really a G+G minor).
This is easier for me to deal with. Sorry if you don't like it.
standard tuning EADGBE

(verse)
E minorEm
I lost you a while ago.
A minorAm         E minorEm
Still I don't know why.

I can't say your name
A minorAm          E minorEm
without a crow flying by.

(verse)
E minorEm
We were seven years on the Burma shore
   Am/Am7      E minorEm
with Gatling guns and (paint? pails? pain?),
E minorEm
working the lowlands door to door
Am/Am7     E minorEm
like Latter Day Saints.

Cmaj7Cmaj7         Em/Em7
But then you turned me out
         E/E7
at the top of the stairs.

You took all the glory

that you just couldn't share.

I've never been so disabused.
Am/Am7       E minorEm
I've never been so mad.
E minorEm
I've never been served anything
Am/Am7     E minorEm
that tasted so bad.

Cmaj7Cmaj7      Em/Em7
You might need a friend
         E/E7
any day now, any day.

O my brother be careful.

You are drifting away.
