This is someone else's tab just in an easier fingering.
The song is in Eb so any variation will work, but C shapes are the easiest in my opinion.

-Verse 1-

Am C G When the wind picked up the fire spread D Am And the grapevines seemed left for dead C G And the Northern sky looked like the end of days Em The end of days Am C G The wake-up call to a rented room D Am Sounded like an alarm of impending doom

To warn us it's only a matter of time

Am C G We bought some wine and some paper cups D Am Near your daughters school when we picked her up C G And drove to a cemetery on a hill Em On a hill Am C G And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray C Am But she laughed and danced through the field of graves C G And there I knew it would be alright D That everything
