Capo 1 for original key
[Verse 1]
Am7 B7
It's dreamy weather we're on
Em7 E7
You waved your crooked wand
Am7 B7
Along an icy pond with a frozen moon
Em7 Am7
A murder of silhouette crows I saw
B7
And the tears on my face
Am7 B7
And the skates on the pond
Em7 E7
They spell Alice
[Verse 2]
Am7 B7
I disappear in your name
Em7 E7
But you must wait for me
Am7
Somewhere across the sea
B7
There's a wreck of a ship
Em7 Am7
Your hair is like meadow grass on the tide
B7
And the raindrops on my window
Am7 B7
And the ice in my drink
Am7 B7 Em7 E7
Baby all I can think of is Alice
[Verse 3]
Am7 B7 Em7
'rithmetic arithmetock
E7 Am7
Turn the hands back on the clock
B7
How does the ocean rock the boat?
Em7 E7 Am7
How did the razor find my throat?
B7
The only strings that hold me here
Am7 B7
Are tangled up around the pier
[Verse 4]
Am7 B7
And so a secret kiss
Em7 E7
Brings madness with the bliss
Am7
And I will think of this
B7
When I'm dead in my grave
Em7 Am7
Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
B7
And I must be insane
Am7 B7
To go skating on your name
Am7 B7
And by tracing it twice
Am7 B7
I fell through the ice
Em7
Of Alice
Am7 B7 Em7
There's only Alice

All the "F" chords should be "E" (ie Fm should be played as Em with a capo).
Otherwise, it sounds great. Thanks!

yeah I second that

Yea I third that, I didn't notice that I had labeled it incorrectly when I submitted it. It's a problem of naming it relative to the chord. It is a fingered Em relative to the capo, but sounds as an Fm. My bad!
