An absolutely gorgeous song. This was a bit tricky to figure out, but here's the
best estimate I've been able to come up with.
Listen to the song for the chord changes
Intro:
D E F#m
D E F#m A E
E D
D E F#m
On this hilltop
F#m E
I buried you
E D
As a younger man
D E F#m
We gathered 'round
F#m E
Your empty husk
E D A
And spoke of how you were so loved
D E F#m
And as the sun died
F#m E
I promised I
E D
Would seek you out
D E F#m
And now the years have
F#m E
weathered me
E D A A/Ab F#m
And soon'll claim you for my arms a - gain

D E A D
And if our hearts all disappear
D E F#m A
And if our bones they crumble to the soil
D E A D
Well our love will rise again
INTERLUDE
D - E - D - E - D - F#m - A - E X2
E - F#m - E - D - F#m - E - D
Hold D for a really long time
D - E - A - D
D - E - F#m - A
D - E - A - D
D - E
Repeat this pattern until...
D E A D
And if our hearts all disappear
D E F#m A
And if our bones they crumble to the soil
D E A D
And all our love will rise again
D E
And we'll float to the sea
D E A D
And if our hearts all disappear
D E F#m A
And if our bones they crumble to the soil
D E A D
And all our love will rise again
D E F#m (let ring)
And we'll float to the sea
