The chords below are what he plays. I'm not sure about the fingering, though. I have a feeling that it is played in some kind of altered tuning, but I'm not sure yet. The low g's that are sounding throughout most of the song would indicate an open string. I'm working on it.

The silent night will shatter

As I leave one too many mornings
G7 C/G G7 C
And a thousand miles behind.
From the crossroads of my doorstep, My eyes begin to fail. And I turn my head back to the room Where my love and I have laid. And I gaze back to the streets the sidewalks and the sign. And I know I've one too many mornings And a thousand miles behind. It's a restless, hungry feeling And it don't mean no one look good. When everything I'm saying, You can say it just as good. You are right from your side, And I am right from mine. We're both one too many mornings And a thousand miles behind.

Additional last half-verse (the first part of the verse instrumental):
I've no right to be here If you've no right to stay Until we're both one too many mornings And a thousand miles away
*) Play the Bm with the first string open, or as xx4030 - that will imitate some of the delightful clashes that only a full, desperate Rolling Thunder band can produce.
