The piece is pretty straightforward, of course listening to it over and over will help.
There is an odd meter instrumental in the middle, skip to bridge if wanted.

Blue light rain, well
Csus4 C
Unbroken chain
Am Eb
**
Looking for familiar faces
F Em G Am C
in an empty window pane.
Dm7 Fsus4
Listening for the secret,
Csus4 Am
searching for the sound

But I could only hear the preacher
G F Em
and the baying of his hounds.
G Am C

Willow sky, woah,
Csus4 C
I walk and wonder why,
F G
**
They say love your brother,
F Em G Am C
But you will catch it when you try.
Dm7 Fsus4
Roll you down the line poor boy,
Csus4 Am
Drop you for a loss,
C G/B Am
Ride you out on the cold railroad
G F Am
And nail you to a cross.
[Instrumental]

November and more

As I wait for the score,

They're telling me forgiveness
F Em G Am C
Is the key to every door.
Dm7 Fsus4
A slow winter day
Csus4 Am
A night like forever
C G/B Am
Sink like a stone,
G F Em Dm C Dm
Float like a feather.

Unbroken chain of you and me.
