I've played along with the video a number of times and this seems pretty close to correct. For a more accurate
effect, try to avoid notes that create an obvious major/minor sound; stick mostly to roots and fifths for the
ambient sound Colin Meloy gets. This should suit you well if you want to class up an open mic night.

Intro:
D G D G

[Verse 1]
Bm A D A
Come, come with me out to the old churchyard,
D G
I so well know those paths 'neath the soft green sward.
Bm A D A
Friends slumber in there that we want to regard;
D G
We will trace out their names in the old churchyard.

Bm D
Mourn not for them, their trials are o'er
Bm G D
And why weep for those who will weep no more?
Bm A D A
For sweet is their sleep, though cold and hard
D G
Their pillows may be in the old churchyard.

[Verse 2]
Bm A D A
I know that it's vain when our friends depart
D G
To breathe kind words to a broken heart;
Bm A D A
And I know that the joy of life is marred
D G
When we follow lost friends to the old churchyard.

Bm D
But were I at rest 'neath yonder tree,
Bm G D
Oh, why would you weep, my friends, for me?
Bm A D A
I'm so weary, so wayworn, why would you retard
D G
The peace I seek in the old churchyard?

[Break]
Bm A D A
D G

[Verse 3]
Bm D
Why weep for me, for I'm anxious to go
Bm G D A
To that haven of rest where no tears ever flow;
Bm A D A
And I fear not to enter that dark lonely tomb
D G
Where our Saviour has lain and conquered the gloom.

[Break]
Bm A D A
D G

[Verse 4]
Bm D
I rest in the hope that one bright day
Bm G D A
Sunshine will burst to these prisons of clay,
Bm A D A
And old Gabriel's trumpet and voice of the Lord
D G
Will wake up the dead in the old churchyard

[Outro]
Bm A D A
D G
Bm A D A
D G
(Vamp that last bit with some rubato/ritardondo a couple more times and Bob's your uncle)
