I've been wondering what the chords to this song were for so long.  It's quite possibly
my favorite song ever.  Someone already made a nice little tab but it didn't sound quite
right. So, I sat down and really invested some time into learning the chords. I think
these chords are fairly accurate.
 
Capo on 3. All chords relative to the capo. The song is in G minor.
 
The distorted note at the beginning is a D. The note that follows is an A.

Em              Em          Bm                   D
Little Faith... follow me.  I set a fire... in a blackberry field.
Em                  Em             Am                      D
Make us laugh... or nothing will.  I set a fire... just to see what it kills.
 
 
          Em                         Em
Now we're stuck in New York, and the rain's coming down.
        Am                    D
I don't feel like we'll go anywhere.
Em                         Em
Stuck in New York, and the rain's coming down.
         Bm                 D
Still in line for the vanity fair...

We'll play nuns vs. Priests until somebody cries.

All our lonely kicks they'll make us saintly and thin.
