It's not comprehensive but gives a pretty good idea of how to play the song, hope you
enjoy :)

Rest of the song:
As heavy as a [Em]history book can be,
G C G G/F#?? (low e |-3--2---0--| )
I will carry it with me, oh Lord.
And maybe when the [Em]bitterness has gone,
There'll be sw[G]eetness on our tongues onc[C]e more.[G] [G/F#]
We'll [F]soon forget our parents[C]' names,[G]
Lik[F]e dogs will drive the wolves[C] away.[G]
And [F]weep with fingertips [C]opposed,
Like a c[G]hurch where nobody [F]congregates.[G] [F]
[Am] But [C]sweetness [G]sings in the [F]pasture,
[Am] We t[C]hrow ours[G]elves on the [F]mercy of the earth.
[Am] If s[C]and and s[G]alt have the [F]answer,
[Am] Then the [C]act it[G]self will be [F]louder than the [Am]word.
Etc. Am C G F goes on to the end of the song.
