There aren't chords for this song anywhere that I can find, so I did it myself.
I've also included a tab for the main guitar riff of the song; it stretches
over multiple chords, so hopefully the way that I notated it is clear enough.
Capo III, all chords (and tab for riff) relative to capo.

[Verse 1]
G [Riff] Em C G
You were the mother of three girls so sweet
G [Riff] Em C G
That stormed through your turnstile and climbed to the street
G [Riff] Em C G
But after conception, your body lay cold
G [Riff] Em C G
And withered through autumn and you found yourself old
D B7
Can you tell me why you have been so sad?
G [Riff] Em C G
He took a lover on a faraway beach
G [Riff] Em C G
While you arranged flowers and chose color schemes
D B7 G C
Can you tell me why you have been so saaad?
D B7 G [Riff]
Can you tell me why you have been so sad?

[Verse 2]
G Am Em D
The girls were all there, they traded their vows
G Am C
The youngest one glared with furrowed brow
G Am Em D
As they tenderly kissed and cut the cake
G Am C
The bride then tripped and broke the vase
G Am Em D
The one you thought would span the years
G Am C
So perfectly placed below the mirror
G Am Em D
Arriving late, you cleaned the debris
G Am C
And walked into the angry scene
Am Em D E
It felt just like falling in love again
Am Em D C
And it felt just like falling in love again
