+this song is just D-A-G in two progressions. the riff is;
+(D chord open)
+e-3-2-0-3-2-----------
+B-----------3---3-----
+G-------------2---0---
+    D                       G
+The lands opening up like a blanket
+         D                            G
+and the dandelions spread themselves thickly out
+   D                     A               D
+along the fields, which are, evidently, endless;
+           D                         G
+and we are hotly in love with one another.
+                D                        G
+we’ve got an unquenchable thirst in our throats.
+             D                          A
+we are, for some reason, all the time, bleeding,
+             D
+and we are friendless.
+(muted strums - D)
+D                  G         D                         G
+and we love these dogs that roll on the lawns here in galesburg –
+D                          A                     D
+because they seem to know something nobody else knows.
+       D                              G
+it is written in the smiles on their faces,
+        D                         G
+and it rings in their high young voices
+        D                     A
+we are burning up all of our choices up here
+           G                             D (and into riff)
+where the tall grass grows, up here in galesburg.
+the sky’s opening up like an old wound,
+and the rain on our bodies is warm tonight
+and the ground underneath us shakes in the cracking thunder.
+we can taste fresh blood in our mouths again:
+there is no chance of getting enough of it,
+and we tally up all our possessions, we’re going under.
+but we love these dogs that loll in the rain here in galesburg
+as the new season rocks them in its terrible arms.
+yeah they howl as though the world were ending,
+and we are watching the sky unwinding
+and some of our promises were binding
+up here where our dreams take form up here in galesburg.
