Intro/Chorus
The intro and chorus is played like a Dm while alternating between the bass notes
D and A. So be sure to strum the Dm chord and not just play it once because the 
tab below does not include the strumming pattern!

Verse:
FSmoke was pulled in ribbons
From the Bbwindows of the car
I followed the Fflash of silver from your Bbteeth
Above the Ftarmac, the lights were icy-Bbgreen
Buried in Fpatterns in your chest a Bbquiet shimmering
Little Fdipper, tiara-shine, a Bbsong bird shivering, a thin, thin Dmdime
Chorus: 
Dm                   (Play intro riffs along with line, part A 3 times then part B 1 time)
Smoke like ribbons   (x4)
FSongs were pulled like ribbons
From the Bbwindow of the car
FLost along the shoulders of the highBbway
Cake walk Fdancers unwind from their spiBbn
Singing,   FLordy, Lordy loved him
           BbStark don't give a flat fucFk
           Lordy, Lordy loved him
           BbStark don't give a flat fucFk
           Lordy, Lordy loved him
           Bbmaj7Stark don't give a flat fucDmk
DmSmoke like ribbons    (repeat with intro riff until you're done)
That's my take on the song, probably not all that accurate to how it's really played but it works for me!
