Note:
The "thing" I labeled as D>Db>C - D - A at various point in the song, 
starts with a regular D barre chord on the 5th fret then he brings the 
A string down to the 4th fret, then plays a C, waits a beat or two, 
pulls back to a D then onto and holds an A.  
I didn't really know how to tab it out officially, 
but I think you can get the idea...

This is a great, beautiful song...enjoy.
Please update with any changes you feel need to be made.

Intro:
F#m - E - A (2x)
F#m - D>Db>C - D - A

Verse I:
C#m
I never knew you
D>Db            Bm
But then who really did?
F#m             E
If you were at all like me
F#m                     B
You managed to keep yourself hid

Chorus:
D               E
A patchwork quilt of a life
D>Db
Memories embroidered
C>D     A
On your soul

Verse II:
C#m
So please forgive me
D>Db            Bm
For putting you in my song
F#              E
But the spirit she moves me
F#m             B
In fact she pushes me along

Chorus:
D               E
It's a patchwork quilt of a life
D>Db
Can't stop the river
C>D     A
Just let it roll

Bridge:
F#
We were at Jones Beach
E               A
When we got the word
F#m             E       A
Saddest sound that I ever heard
F#m                     A       B
The bluest note that nobody could play
F#m                     E       A
Ravens sang with us that night on the stage
F#m             E       A
Tears of sadness, tears of rage
F#m                     D>Db
But nobody spoke, we all felt old
C>D             A
And in the way

Jam: (just like a verse with a chorus)
C#m
D>Db    Bm
F#m     E
F#m     B
D       E
D>Db>C - D - A  

Verse III:
C#m
So walk beside me
D>Db            Bm
Or above me, I don't know
F#m             E
These days it sure seems
F#m             B
I'm lost whereever I go

Bridge II?:
F#m                     E       A
God, how could you, I heard someone say
F#m                     E       A
And what do we do with our lives now anyway?
F#m                     A       B
Now that our North Star can no longer be found
F#m                     E       A
But there's a banjo moon in a tie-dyed sky
F#m                     E       A
Hippies dance and babies cry
F#m                     A       B
Church bells ring as a silver-haired angel look down
        D               E                               Db?
And the blood of his music runs through the veins of our guitars
D               Bm
Bright lights, Dark Star

 
End:
C#m
I never knew you
D>Db            Bm
But then who really did
F#m             E
If you were at all like me
F#m                     B
You managed to keep yourself hid
