There are actually a few ways you can play this song. The Key is Ebminor, so you can
it using barre chords or by CAPOING the 6th fret to play it in Aminor. You can also lower
tuning 1/2 step to Eb and play it open in eminor (this is what is probably happening on
record.)
Or, you can always play it in Eminor open with regular tuning, knowing it will be 1/2
the capo one or two frets if you use the capo.
ENJOY!!!
At the sharp end of the view
The edge of me and you
And all good sense that tread no further
And as the ghost will shiver trees
How I'm tremblin' on my knees
But I'm still drawn on by the the murmur
Are you laughing at me now?
In my circumstance
When still I wear your crown
My life's penitence
For what? What's so funny?
A Box full o' honey
What I thought a pretty tune
Was howling at the moon
To keep me company this evening
It's so lonely in the dirt
A scratching at the hurt
That I so generously did leave you
Are you laughing at me now?
In my circumstance
When still I where your crown
Some cruel penitence
For what? What's so funny?
A Box full o' honey
Break: - - -
-
Is she flirting with me now?
-
Is she dallying with me now?
Are you flirting with me now?
You'll always be my queen of tumble down
Miss Melancholy
Are you laughing at me now?
In my circumstance
When still I wear your crown
And my life's a penitence
For what? What's so funny?
Ain't it funny?
A Box full o' honey

One other way to play is to CAPO 1 and play it in Dm, as is tabbed in another posting.
