Beck - Woe On Me (Previously Unreleased) One Foot in the Grave
This is a very simplified way to play the song, it's not very accurate, but does sound similar.
Tuning: 2 steps down
The verse is basically a Gmajor:
e----333--33---33---33---33-00000-|
b----333--33---33---33---33-00000-|
g----000--00---00---00---00-00000-|
d----000--00---00---00---00-00000-|
a----222-333---22--333---22-00000-|
e--3-33------3-33------3-33-33333-|
G - (As transcribed above)
On the old forgotten crossways where the fourteen rivers did meet
G
The bones of our elders were lying in the street
G
On the dark and dusty desert like a ghost I've flown
G
I barely cried wherever I'd ride I ride I never found a home
C D G
Woe on me
Am D
Somehow I will feel more free
G C
To wallow in the empty headed peace
Am D
Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease
G
I am just a ramshackle I go from town to town
G
Where there is no shelter I lay down on the grown
G
I've killed for no reason I've pissed upon a kind
G
Cost them all and burned the bone when I've had the time
C D G
Woe on me
Am D
Somehow I will feel more free
G C
To wallow in the empty headed peace
Am D
Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease
G
Well there's saints and there are animals they've taken what they could
G
And it's written in the pages to do just what they should
G
Well they stood the test and burned the rest and tore them limb from limb
G
Like a fashion with no passion they open up their skin
C D G
Woe on me
Am D
Somehow I will feel more free
G C
To wallow in the empty headed peace
Am D
Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease

Some more chord specificity in the chorus that make it sound more like the original (although otherwise these chords are spot on):
1. For the first G chord, you can oscillate between G and Gadd9 (the kind that looks like a regular G chord but with an open A string)
2. Halfway through whenever you play Am, you can throw your pinkie up to a C base note on the A string for some twang
3. For the 2nd and 3rd time you play a D chord, you can take your finger on and off the high E string to garnish it with some Dadd9s
4. The second G chord in the chorus is actually a G base (ie 3 on low E and 2 on A) but with an D#/Eb on the D string and an open high E string
