This is my variation. I left out the solo. I fingerpick, but not at Mr.
Thompson's level. :).

A D A
She danced in the street with the guns all around her
A E
All torn like a rag doll barefoot in the rain
A D A
She sang like a child to-ra-day-to-ra-da-dee
A E A
Oh how will I ever be simple again
A D A
She sat on the banks of the dirty gray river
A E
And tried for a fish with a worm on a pin
A D A
There was nothing but fever and ghosts in that water
A E A A/A A/B A/C
Oh how will I ever be simple again
D A
War was my love my friend and companion
D A E
What did I care for the pretty and plain
A D A
Her smile was so clear and my heart was so troubled
A E A
Oh how will I ever be simple again
Solo
A D A
In her poor burned out house I sat by her table
A E
The smell of her hair was like cornfields in May
A D A
I wanted to weep and my eyes ached from trying
A E A A/A/ A/B A/C
Oh how will I ever be simple again
D A
How graceful she moved in the dust and the ruins
D A E
How happy she was in her dances and games
A D A
Teach me to see with your innocent eyes love
A E A
Oh how will I ever be simple again
A E A
Oh how will I ever be simple again
