The song is tuned down a half-step, but you can play it normal and it sounds pretty
It's in 6/8 and the key of C (well, B once it's tuned down, but you get the idea)
Intro: Am / D7 / G / Em
Verse 1:
Am D7 G Em
Wanderers this morning came by
Am D7 G F C
Where did they go, graceful in the morning light
F C
To banner fair
F G
To follow you softly in the cold mountain air
Verse 2:
Am D7 G Em
Through the forest and down to your grave
Am D7 G F C
Where the birds wait and the tall grasses wave
F C
They do not
F G
Know you anymore
Interlude: Am / D7 / G / Em / Am /

Dear shadow alive and well

You tell me everything, anything true
Verse 3:

In the town one morning I went
Am D7 G F C
Staggering through premonitions of my death
F C F G
I don't see anybody that dear to me

Dear shadow alive and well
C F G
How does the body die

You tell me everything, anything true
