These are the chords he plays on his version of this classic.  I think their may be a capo on 1st fret.
Intro:
C F G C
Verse:
C                                      F
I heard the laughter At the depot
             G                     C
But my tears fell like the rain
                                                         F
When I saw them place that low white casket
                        G                           C
In the baggage coach of the evening train
