Song is played on piano of course, but here's a guitar translation. Also, if you tune the low E string to C,
you can have an open bass note that sounds nice, which is represented by the (0) in the tab below.

Intro: Cm
Cm
Well I used to know someone fair
She had orange ribbons in her hair
Cmadd4
She was such a trip ~Verse 1~
She was hardly there
Cm
But I loved her
Just the same.
Cm
There was rain in our window,
The F.M. set was ragged
Cmadd4
But she could talk, yeah, ~Verse 2~
We learned to speak
Cm
And one year
Has gone by
Cm
Such a long long road to seek it
All we did was break and freak it
Cmadd4
We had all that lovers ever had ~Verse 3~
Cm
We just blew it and I'm not sad
(Cm)
Well I'm mad ~Bridge~
(Cm)
And I'm bad
Cm
And two years
Have gone by
Now her world was bright orange
And the fire glowed
And her friend had a baby ~Verse 4~
And she lived with us
Cmadd4
Yeah, we broke through the window
Yeah, we knocked on the door
Cm
Her phone would not answer,
Yeah, but she's still home
Cm
Now her father has passed over
And her sister is a star
And her mother smokes diamonds
And she sleeps out in the car
Cmadd4
Yeah, but she remembers Chicago ~Verse 5~
The musicians & guitars
Cm
And grass by the lake
And people who laughed
And made her poor heart ache
Cm
Now we live down in the valley
We work out on the farm
We climb up to the mountains
And everything's fine
Cm
And I'm still here ~Verse 6~
Cm
And you're still there
Cm
And we're still around
End with Csus4 - Cm - Cmaj
