Just play a C-chord 4 times while hammering your middle finger on and off the D-string.
 
Am
Maria’s on the hill
             F           C
she was all “side of her eyes”
  Am                    G         C
a five-dollar wine as a blanket inside
F                     G         C
lay up the pages on a traveling bed
          F                                  G        Am
watch the Blood of Christ Mountains, oh they all turn red
 
F                      G     C
howl at the half moon, radio queen
F                          G        Am
she’s all smoke, she’s all nicotine
    F                       G        C
the songs in my pocket just crumble apart
          F                         Dadd9/F#
won’t you sing me something for the dark
 
Am                           F            C
Maria’s got wings, she’s got legs for the sea
  Am                   G        C
a captain’s coat and a note for me
F                         G      F
wake up Marie, before the season turns
         F                             G       Am
set your dash for the coast, watch the Sangres burn
 
F                      G     C
howl at the half moon, radio queen
F                          G        Am
she’s all smoke, she’s all nicotine
    F                       G        C
the songs in my pocket just crumble apart
          F                         Dadd9/F#
won’t you sing me something for the dark, dark, dark

          F                         G           C
won’t you sing me something for the dark, dark, dark
          F                         G           C
won’t you sing me something for the dark, dark, dark
          F                         G           C
won’t you sing me something for the dark, dark, dark
          F                         Dadd9/F#
won’t you sing me something for the dark

I love this song and this tab. Thanks. Only change I would make is second verse over "turns" should be a C.

The Dadd9/F# doesn't quite right. The underlying chord is a Dm, so the F# clashes with the F. Maybe try a Dmadd9/F or a simple Dm?

The chords you use based on the tab-description should be: C/F Gadd11 Fmaj7 Am and Dadd9/F# Also a suggestion: After each bar and the hammer part there's a transition of an altered chord, like: Maria’s on the hill Fmaj7 C/G Cadd2/G (330010) she was all “side of her eyes” Am Gadd11 C/G Cadd2/G a five-dollar wine as a blanket inside Fmaj7 Gadd11 C Cadd2/G lay up the pages on a traveling bed Fmaj7 Gadd11 Am Amadd4(?) (x00210) watch the Blood of Christ Mountains, oh they all turn red Might keep it as is for simplicity, but I'm quite sure this is the way you play it. I do after reading your chords :)
