B---3------3------2-|

 A nice effect is to only play the top four strings (D,G,B,e) in the first verse,
 then add in the bass notes for the rest of the song.
I  saw her there  from afar
 Her hair gray charcoal
 Takes a drag  from her tar
 I kissed  her a smile
 But her blood  red shot eye
 Said the sun never shines  on closed doors
 She said the sun  never shines on closed doors
 I open  to find only hurricanes blowin'
Take  me away  back to the green  fields of May
 Because the sun  never shines on closed doors
 That’s it! Enjoy!
 Footnote: For all of you who are curious, the proper names of the chords played in the song
 are G, C, and D. Do with it what you will.
