This sounds fine tuned normal but you can play it open D if you want it to sound
exactly like the song.
Dm Bb Dm
Dm Down the crooked road a ways Bb Dm A child's shadow hiding in the Briar F Dm F Dm Tending to a twisted heart Bb Gm that's bent and broken Bb Gm wounded and abandoned A7 Dm left amongst the rotted root to rot
Dm Bb Dm
Dm Moon, crimson moon Bb Dm Rose Marie's walking down the crooked road a ways F Dm F Dm All aglow, her fair white skin Bb Gm Bb Gm Portrait of beauty, angel to many F Dm F Dm Hears the hush crying from the briar Bb Gm Bb Gm Reaches in her hand to see what's the matter C Gm and is dragged through the darkness C Gm beneath the lonely cypress Bb Gm The town's beloved daughter Bb Gm carried to her death in the turbid waters A7 Dm and set afloat downstream
Dm Bb Dm
F Dm F Dm Whole town erupts, bursts into flame Bb Gm Bb Gm Parties go a-searching down the crooked road a ways F Dm F Dm Find old Rufus there drunk and asleep Bb Gm Bb Gm Fishing by the water must have killed our beloved daughter F Dm F Dm Can't hold back these waves of anger Bb Gm Tie a rope around his neck Bb Gm See if he still hollers A7 Dm Another innocent soul hangs over the briar
