I got this from watching him perform an acoustic version of the song.  

TREE BY THE RIVER - IRON AND WINE

CAPO 3


 G                     Am7
Mary Anne, do you remember
                Cmaj7/G
the tree by the river
                  G
when we were seventeen?

G                                Am7
Dark canyon wall, the call and the answer
                    Cmaj7/G
and the mare in the pasture
                           G
pitch black and baring its teeth.

I recall the sun in our faces,
stuck and leaning on braces,
and being strangers to change.

Radio and the bones we found frozen,
and all the thorns and the roses
beneath your window pane.

Am7                   G
Now I’m asleep in a car, I mean the world
     Am7
to a potty-mouth girl,
                           G
a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds.

Am7                      G
Time isn’t kind or unkind, you liked to say.
     Am7
But I wonder to who
                         G
what it is you’re saying today.

Now I’m asleep in a car, I mean the world
to a potty-mouth girl,
a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds.

Time isn’t kind or unkind, you liked to say.
But I wonder to who
what it is you’re saying today.

Mary Anne, do you remember
the tree by the river
when we were seventeen?

Dark canyon road, I was coy in the half-moon;
happy just to be with you,
and you were happy for me.
