Dead easy three-chorder. The recorded version (from Angels and Electricity, a lovely album) uses B, E and F#. Slap a capo on the second fret and play it like this:

        A           D             E              A
  I was born in the shadow of the factory I'd be working
  
      A         D                  E               A
  For me and my brother, there was nowhere else to go
  
    A         D            E              A
  I married a local boy in nineteen forty-seven
  
      A                        D
  His hands were rough but his eyes were kind
  
        E                   A
  And I knew our love would grow
  
  
          A           D
  From my eyes to the river
  
           E            A
  From the river to the sea
  
           A          D
  From the sea to the darkening clouds
  
           E                A
  From the sky back down to me
  Follow my tears....
