I saw this in the Bob Dylan category, but the chords weren't right. So I 
decided to fix them.

I haven't been playing guitar long, so I dont know exactly how the picking 
goes. It sounds like you just play a little arpeggio of sorts, but only use 5 
strings of each chord. So, the Am would go like this (normal tuning, no capo):
E ------------------------
A -----0------------------
D --------2---------------
G -----------2---------2--
B --------------1---1-----
e  ---------------0-------

At least thats what it sounds like to me. You can figure out the rest of the 
song by just playing around with it. I just started playing it from memory 
yesterday and I think its pretty accurate.

Here are the chords

Intro - Am C D F Am E Am E

Am           C           D       F
There is a house..........
Am           C           E       E
They call it the............
Am           C           D       F
And its been the ruin..............
Am           E          Am          C D F Am E Am E
And  God, I know,  I'm ..........

Thats about all there is to it. Those chords are played in the same order for 
every verse and the solo as well. I think the ending is Am and F repeated a 
few times.

Hope it helps someone out there. If I am wrong, its ok cause this is my first
