I used Hackenbush's tab, which is great by the way, I just made it into basic chords.

Song is in 3/4 -- Capo on 4th fret


G Bm C Bm Sadie, white coat
G Bm C Bmyou carry me home
G Bm C BmAnd bury this bone
G Bm C Bmand take this pine cone
Bm D Am C Bury this bone to
G Gmaj7Gnaw on it later
EmGnawing on the telephone
Bm D Am CUntil then, we pray and suspend
G Gmaj7 EmThe notion that these lives do never end
GAnd all day long we talk about mercy
G C D GLead me to water, Lord, I sure am thirsty
GDown in the ditch where I nearly served you
G C D GUp in the clouds where he almost heard you
CAnd all that we built and all that we breathed
EmAnd all that we spilt, or pulled up like weeds
G C D GIs piled up in back and it burns irrevocably
Em C D GAnd we spoke up in turns 'til the silence crept over me
G Bm C Bm And bless you, and I deeply do
G Bm C Bm No longer resolute, oh and I call to you
G Bm C Bm But the water go so cold
G Bm C BmAnd you do lose what you don't hold
Bm D Am CThis is an old song, these are old blues
G Gmj7 EmAnd this is not my tune, but it's mine to use
Bm D Am CAnd the seabirds where the fear once grew
G Gmaj7 EmWill flock with a fury and they will bury what'd come for you
GAnd down where I darn with the milk-eyed mender
G C D GYou and I, and a love so tender
GStretched on a hoop where I stitched this adage:
G C D G"Bless our house and its heart so savage"
CAnd all that I want, and all that I need
EmAnd all that I've got is scattered like seed
G C D GAnd all that I knew is moving away from me
Em C D GAnd all that I know is blowing like tumbleweed
G Bm C BmAnd the mealy worms in the brine will burn
G Bm C BmIn a salty pyre among the fauns and ferns
G Bm C BmAnd the love we hold, and the love we spurn
G Bm C BmWill never grow cold, only taciturn
G Bm C BmAnd I'll tell you tomorrow
G Bm C BmSadie, go on home now
G Bm C BmAnd bless those who've sickened below
G Bm C BmAnd bless us who have chosen so
CAnd all that I've got and all that I need
EmI tie in a knot and I lay at your feet
G C D GAnd I have not forgot, but a silence crept over me
Em C D GSo dig up your bone, exhume your pine cone, my Sadie
