From the excellent album "Sno' Angel Like You"
I play these as barre chords (except A and E7)
TO get the feel of the song you need to play around with little fills, slides, pull offs 
such like but this is the basic structure

There's a town in the high desert
where doctor gene scott says the demons run
alongside a chunk of heaven hovering there
where the wind in the image of the throne rides shotgun
riddles of the wonderment, wonders of the firmament
and me laid up, laid off and laying low
[chorus]
things could have been better
they sure could not have gotten any worse
tears out in the alleyway
and laughter waiting out front in the hearse
