Listen to the song to get the hammerons.  They are all within the regular chords.
[Intro]
C,Em,F,C,G  
[Verse 1]
In our Cdays we will live
Like our Emghosts will live
Pitching Fglass at the cornfield Ccrows
And folding Gclothes
[Verse 2]
Like stubborn Cboys across the road
We'll keep Emeverything
Grandma's Fgun and the black bear Cclaw
That took her Gdog
[Verse 3]
When sister CLaurie says, "Amen" 
We won't hear Emanything
The ten-car Ftrains will take that Cword
That fledgling Gbird
[Verse 4]
And the fallen Chouse across the way
It'll keep Emeverything
The baby's Fbreath. Our bravery Cwasted 
and our Gshame
[Chorus]
And we'll Fundress beside the ashes of the Cfire
Both our Ftender bellies wound in baling Gwire
All the Fmore a pair of underwater Cpearls
Than the Foak tree and its resurrection Gfern
Instrumental Break: C,Em,F,C,G  
[Verse 5]
In our Cdays we will say
What our Emghosts will say
We gave the Fworld what it saw Cfit
And what'd we Gget?
[Verse 6]
Like stubborn Cboys with big green eyes
We'll see Emeverything
In the tender Fshade of the autumn Cleaves
And the buzzard's Gwing
[Chorus]
And we'll uFndress beside the ashes of the fCire
Both our Ftender bellies wound in baling Gwire
All the Fmore a pair of underwater Cpearls
Than the Foak tree and its resurrection Gfern
