Chord form    F#5 -  x 4 4 x 2 x

I've read that Peter Case sometimes uses alternate tunings. I'm not sure if 
any of the songs on his first record are done that way, so I'll say that
this Standard Tuning transcription is one possible way of playing this song.
      
INTRO:

F#5    E        (8x)


1ST VERSE:

F#m           A         D                  F#5   E     F#5   E
Out past the cemetary, down by the willow bend
 A      D                       E
Half a mile from the railroad track

They took a walk in the woods and they never came back

Metal from the radio, it rang out through the fields
 A               D                        E
Just when they thought they'd found the track
           F#m                A           D                E
Through a patch of four leaf clover that vanished in thin air
             F#m  A      D              E          F#m    D
They took a walk in the woods and they never came back

 A                                     D                     E
You never heard such misery as those bloodhounds 'cross the farms
   F#m               A                   D
Between God and the police they were protected from all harm
            F#m   A       D              E          F#m    D
Until they walked in the woods and they never came back

You never heard such theories, but none of them could be proved
F#m               A           D
For the missing children, no conscience could be soothed
             F#m  A      D              E          F#5   E    F#5   E
