This is a beautiful song and, luckily, it's incredibly simple, just C/Am/F/G all the way through.
Not sure if the chords fit exactly with the studio version, but they work perfectly.
Slap on a capo anywhere that makes you feel comfortable and enjoy!
C
There’s an empty field along the road
Am F
Where all the rugged lovers go to play
G
At the end of the day
C
It’s full of holes and missing parts
Am F
Paper planes and broken hearts, you see
G
Not a place I'd like to be
C
But it’s where I spend the night with you
Am
We’re rugged lovers through and through
F G
You know, somewhere else that we can go
C
Cause I need to get out of here
Am F
Don’t you know that it just ain’t right
G C Am F G
Rugged lovers you and I
C
Take a pearl and drop it in the sea
Am F G
Make a wish and pray that it comes true, for you
C
Let the feather fall into the hook
Am F
Cast it out and take a look around
G
See the sky is falling down
C
Write a letter to the lonely ones
Am
Trapped inside a loaded gun
F G
You’ll find, it’s a matter of time
C Am F
Cause I’m so tired and I’m so bored that I could die
G C Am F
Rugged lovers you and I
G C Am F G
Rugged lovers you and I
C
There’s an empty field along the road
Am F
Where all the rugged lovers go to play
G
At the end of the day
C
