 First part:
 ( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/frontier_ruckus/dark_autumn_hour_tab_ver_2.html )
 Bb Eb D F G 
      
 F G F Eb 
     
 The harmony part starts and ends the same, but diverges in between:
 
 Bb Bb D C 
     
 
 Verse I
 
 C                              
 Anne, lets die in some dim town
    G                               
 My brown eyes wait to weigh us down
     Am                              
 The candles round the tub will drown
 Dm           Dm7  
 In our after-noons
 
 C                            
 Music from our evening parlor
 G                          
 Darker than the autumn hour
   Am                          
 I gave my child twenty dollars
     Dm             Dm7  
 For tearing at our moons
 
 -banjo solo-
 
 Verse II
 
 C                              
 Dark damp men muddied our house
 G                                
 In my dreams to bleed your blouse
   Am                           
 I smiled from my sleep to douse
     Dm             Dm7 
 The horror of this hour
 
 C                                    
 Our boy on dark hills blurry crawling
 G                                      
 His rain-glazed shaking porches falling
     Am                                     
 The homes of all his friends just sprawling
 Dm             Dm7    
 Withering like flowers
 
 Verse III
 
 C                             
 Anne, Ive loved you from a boy
    G                         
 No other autumn could destroy
     Am                           
 The town our winds fused to enjoy
 Dm              Dm7      
 Whispering dark farmlands
 
 C                                     
 Tearing moons, these moons are tearing
 G                                  
 Swearing terror inside their daring
 Am                                    
 Crumbling prayers, dark autumns faring
 Dm                  Dm7  
 Straight out of our hands
 
 
 End with a couple more runs through the chords
