Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
The  whole town nearly died,
When  rocks flew from the sky,
 Bb F (sounds nice to throw a Gm in here)
 The stray dogs whined and howled,
At  dark foreboding clouds.
The  mayor screamed and fled,
The  priest hid under his bed,
Uprooted  trees did spin,
To  the sound of a merciless wind.
e¦--1---1p0---0------|I
B¦--3---3--3--3------|I
G¦----2----2---------|I
D¦0----------0-------|I
A¦-------------------|I
E¦-------------------|I
Will  you love me when  I'm old?
I'm  still hopin I can get  that far.
No-one  escaped the whirlwind's  hold,
Except  the jailor and his pack  of cards.
 And I sit  out side  watchin
Fallin stars  playin
D  minor chords  on a
Spanish guitar  ah-ah.
 (think there might be a slide to Gm here before goin straight to the Dm in the verse)
 same as the other two)
Well  clothes blew threw the streets,
 And so did cinema seats,
 Their souls could not be saved,
 I dug a thousand graves.
 Repeat CHORUS then some more D minor to lead into the solo.
 The end chords are very hard to pick out,especially while distracted by such an amazin
 but it seems to be a reptition of a Dm - Bb riff maybe something like this:
Bb
e¦---1-1------1-1------6-6------6-6---------|I
B¦---3-3------3-3------6-6------6-6---------|I
G¦--2---2-2--2---2-2------7-7------7-7------|I
D¦-0-----0--0-----0---8----8---8----8-------|I
A¦-------------------8--------8-------------|I
E¦------------------------------------------|I
 Well that's the best that i can do.If you can't tell from half the crap I've already
 I love this song to pieces so anyone who wants to learn it automatically earns my
 world needs more people who appreciate Ed. Thanks,goodbye and Que Pasa?
