Tweedy plays this with a capo on 5. I got the lyrics from the first tab for this song.
_________________
Capo 5
The little riff he plays is just a C/G (?) chord: X32013. He then slides from 3 to 5 on 
the high E string. And then an F chord.
CI have heard the wall and Fworried of the gospel
CFerry faust it crossed a Fvoid
CI have married broken Fspoke charging smoke wheels
CSpit and swallowed oFpioids
GI am the driver at the Bbwheel of the order
GMarching circles at the Fgate
My Ceyes have Bbseen the fury
GSo flattered by Ffate
CTonight I'd rather count the Fwarm fuse ?
CSubtract the silence of Fmyself
CI would rather choose a Fmillion mind of mystery
CBe just the rigor for my Fhealth
CI wonder why Bbstrange rhymes overpower me
CToss the chimneys in the Fsea
I belCieve I've Bbseen the finger
DivGine eFxtremity
C  F
G   F  Eb   D
   G    F     Ab   C#(C#)  C__________F
Please come closer to the feather smooth lens fry
Sadness is my luxury
Will you wear torn the cold come before I die
More aware of it than me
Without the glowing stone
The kids are unabashed
Loneliness postponed
My eyes deceiving glory
I was born to die alone
Alone
