Am Fill
Am Em
Spring it came upon us, every insect filled the air
D Am Fill
Dropped their wings upon my brother, cast their shadows on his hair
Am Em
If we follow where they're leading, We will surely come before
D Am Am7
some unseen and wondrous magic, made of visions to explore
D Am Am7
Near the town where we were living, was an old abandoned farm
D Am Am7
Every year we'd plant an orchid, in the shelter of it's arm
D Am Am7
To protect us from the madness, of the future still to come
Em C D
It will be like this forever, I will keep you safe from harm
Bridge
Am Em D Am Fill
Am Em
Then they caught us in the summer, dressed in fathers finest clothes
D Am Fill
You the hat he wore to market, I the jacket filled with holes
Am Em
I've been searching all these hours, for a hand as pale as bone
D Am Am7
That would keep the strongest sunlight, and reflect the brightest stone
D Am Am7
Near the town where we were living, was a warm and fragrant smell
D Am Am7
Of the orchid we had planted, now a forest tall and well
D Am Am7
What a statue to our greatness, what a story all will tell
Em C D
They'll remember us forever, they'll remember where we fell
Bridge
Am Em D Am Fill
Am
This old dark machine, it shakes and it shudders
G/C
Pulls to the left, then dies near the gutter
D
But still in the road, the traffic is silent
Am
The people they stare, and then they turn violent
C
If they should touch, the hem of your dress
Am
I would rise like a lion, strike out again
C
The faithful they wait, the faithful they wait
G/C
By the sign
D Am Am7
Near the town where we were living, came a loud and joyous sound
D Am Am7
As the earth and all her beauty, picked us up from off the ground
D Am Am7
Carried far across the mountain, to a kingdom never bound
Em C D
We will live like this forever, I will love you, I will love you
Bridge x 2
Am Em D Am

The D chord should be aD7(X-0-0-2-1-2). You can still use D but doesn't sound as good imo
I think it is rather a Dsus2 with a B in the bass, as you can see him playing on live videos, but the D still sounds quite right.
sounds perfect, only thing is in the recording it's capo 3, but in the NPR Tiny Desk Concert it's capo 2, depending on where you want to reference it.
