Standard tuning. Most of it is actually banjo, but I wanted to play it with just a 
guitar and was shocked to see that no one had taken the time to figure it out yet. 
It's not perfect, but it's close enough.
Intro:  Am   G   Am   G   Am  Am  
I have cAmome back to you broken
take me hGome
And my bAmody bears this trouble
take me Ghome
GTake me back to my beginning
GBefore the hell of night set in
GAnd I came to this border
take me Amhome
I have tAmoured the endless starlight
take me hGome
I have sAmhattered under midnight
take me hGome
GThere are no vultures in this clearing
GExcept the ones who brought me here
GAnd I'll no longer feed them
take me Amhome
FKingdom come, their will was done
And Amnow the earth is far away
from Gany kind of heaven
FHallowed be these frozen fields
And eAmvery single one of us
Still Gleft in want of mercy        
Take us Fhome
Am G Am G G G G Am
Now the Ambells stand still and hollow
take me Ghome
And no Amone has come to mourn me
take me Ghome
GFind me where I close my eyes
GBeneath this sky of powerlines
GAnd let me see us clearly
take me Amhome
FKingdom come, their will was done
And Amnow the earth is far away
from Gany kind of heaven
FHallowed be these frozen fields
And eAmvery single one of us
still Gleft in want of mercy
Take us Fhome

Intro:

I have come back to you broken

take me home

And my body bears this trouble

take me home

Take me back to my beginning

Before the hell of night set in

And I came to this border

take me home

I have toured the endless starlight

take me home

I have shattered under midnight

take me home

There are no vultures in this clearing

Except the ones who brought me here

And I'll no longer feed them

take me home

Kingdom come, their will was done

And now the earth is far away

from any kind of heaven

Hallowed be these frozen fields

And every single one of us

Still left in want of mercy

Take us home

Am G Am G G G G Am

Now the bells stand still and hollow

take me home

And no one has come to mourn me

take me home

Find me where I close my eyes

Beneath this sky of powerlines

And let me see us clearly

take me home

Kingdom come, their will was done

And now the earth is far away

from any kind of heaven

Hallowed be these frozen fields

And every single one of us

still left in want of mercy

Take us home
