Chris Fuller did this marvelous tab for Plant & Krauss' take on this great song.
Chords are the same for Sam Phillip's (I think better) version.
 
Verse 1:
Cm                          G7
Strange things are happening every day
           C                 Fm   (Walking Bass F, G, G#)
I hear the music up above my head
           G#                    Cm
Though the sight of my heart has left me again,
       G        Cm
I hear music up above
 
VERSE2
Cm                       G7
Secrets are written in the sky
                C                        Fm  (Walking Bass F, G, G#)
Looks like I’ve lost the love I’ve never found
          G#                      Cm
Though the sound of hope has left me again,
       G        Cm
I hear music up above
 
CHORUS:
C                             Em
Standing in my broken heart all night long
Am                                  F
Darkness held me like a friend when love wore off
C                                     Em
Looking for the lamb that’s hidden in the cross
    Am       F
The finder’s lost
Dm          C
I know I’ve loved you too much
           F            C  F  G
I’ll go on alone to get through
 
SOLO on Verse Chords:
 
VERSE 3:
Cm                           G7
I hear Rosetta singing in the night
           C                                        Fm     (Bass F, G, G#)
Echoes of light that shine like stars after they’re gone
G#                                Cm
Tonight she’s my guide as I go on alone
         G         Cm
With the music up above
 
SOLO on Verse Chords and on the last Cm

These chords are 100% accurate for the Plant/Krauss version, but Sam Phillips plays it three half-steps down from this, in the key of Am. Here's a video of her performing it on NPR to back up my claim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_1gEKfwe0k
