This is what it sounds like on the piano; I guess you could play
it on anything although I wouldn't want to attempt it myself!
Transpose it down 1 step though and it's not too bad.

Older brother, restless soul, lie down
E B C#M G#M E
Lie for a while with your ear against the earth
E B C#M G#M
And you'll hear your sister sleep talking
E B C#M G#M E
Say "your hair is long but not long enough to reach
B
home to me
G#M
but your beard
B
someday might be."
G#M E B
And she'll wake up in a cold sweat on the floor
G#M E B
Next to a family portrait drawn when you were four
G#M E B E
And beside a jar of two cent coins that are no good no more
B
She'll lay it aside

E B C#M G#M E
Older father, weary soul, you'll drive
E B C#M G#M E
Back to the home you made on the mountainside
B C#M G#M
With that ugly, terrible thing
E B C#M
Those papers for divorce
G#M E
And a lonely ring
B
A lonely ring
E
Sit on your porch
B
And pluck your strings
G#M E B
And you'll find somebody you can blame
G#M
And you'll follow the creek
E B E
That runs out into the sea
B
And you'll find the peace of the Lord.

Grandfather, gentle soul, you'll fly
E B C#M G#M E
Over your life once more before you die
B C#M G#M
Since our grandma passed away
E B C#M G#M E
You've waited for forever and a day
B
Just to die
E
And someday soon
B
You will die
G#M E B
It was the only woman you ever loved
G#M E B
That got burnt by the sun too often when she was young
G#M E B B
And the cancer spread and it ran into her body and her blood
G#M E B
And there's nothing you can do about it now
