Standard tuning, capo on the first fret.
The timing on the outro is rather tricky at first, but with practice, it's not too hard.

[Verse]
Am Dm G
Up on a mountain over the plains
C C/B Am
Christopher sat with his hands to his face
Dm G
This urn is her casket, this ash her remains
C C/B Am
It doesn't feel right just to throw it away
Dm G
So he kept it with him everywhere that he strayed
C C/B Am
With long narrow shadows he shouldered the weight
Dm G
If I keep her with me, then I'll keep her safe
C C/B
He choked down the words that he wanted to say
[Chorus]
F C G Am G F
Wish I could run from the place that poisons my passion away
C G
Wish I never wrote her anything
Am G Am
Let this be the last song I sing
[Interlude]
Am Dm G C C/B (x2)
{Verse]
Am Dm G
Grooves in his shoulders, the urn still in his clasp
C C/B Am
Christopher struggled against the river so fast
Dm G
Imaginary messiahs like the world on his back
C C/B Am
pushed him under the current where he drowned with the ash
Dm G
No moral to your story
C C/B Am
Yeah they're lying again my friend
Dm G C C/B
No moral to your story, my friend
[Chorus]
F C G Am G F
Say goodbye to the place that poisons your passion away
C G
If you write a lost love anything
Am G F Fm
Don't let it be the last song you sing
