[INTRO]
You could play this part a couple different ways, this is the main pattern throughout
the song.

The same pattern will be applied to the C chord in the verses.
[Verse]
DGeep inside the country, he went out for some air
Amid an awful night of eating household objects on a dare
A Ctea towel, a handful of refrigerator magnets, and a wGatch
HGe staggered through the mudroom, got sick out in the street
The towel in tiny pieces, magnetic letters neat
And nCow arranged in such a way that they should spell his lovers nameG  
And time was of the essence
TGhe engine turning over, the summons in the shop
He could not recall the number, but he knew it was a lot
HCis belly warm with drink
He leaned into the freeway in the Gnight
IGnvestigating exit ramps, waiting for a sign
Scanning up the A.M. band, sliding down the vine
He fCelt his stomach turn again and pulled off at the park
She was Gstanding in the black oak, carving poems in the bark
[Chorus]
(not 100% sure on this part)

[Verse 2]
PGlanted in the cafe, her bloodied saber drawn
Marking up the manuscript, hard against the dawn
She Cturns on the recorder and pulls a nervous breath before she speGaks
"7 GA.M. Tuesday, January 9
Realizing this may put my career on the line"
The Ccafe man approaches, with a corded phone and tells her
"It's for Gyou"
SoGmewhere in the static, a disembodied voice
The circumstances changed, she will not have a choice
The Cline dies, crackles soft, then sputters back to life
G(hold)
"They found him at the black oak, they dug him up last night."
[Chorus and Outro]
