Two Coins

I've only seen one sets of chords out here on the internet but they didn't sound quite 
right so I studied Dallas Green play it live and acoustic and made my own version which I 
believe is correct.

Capo on the 4th fret. Standard tuning.

The whole intro part is played twice.

When playing Am7 he does pulloffs and hammer ons with his 1st finger on the B string and 
also hammers on with his pinky on the high e string on the 3rd
fret. When playing C with the G base he first does a pull off and a hammer on
 with on the B string, then with the 2nd finger on the D string and after
that a pull off with his 4th finger on A string but if you do this you must move your 
second finger to the A string which makes a new chord which I can't name for the life of 
me. Play around with these, he
does them different every time.

Verse

Am7
Northwest is where I'm headed,
                      C/G
Underneath the golden sky
     Am7
I'm searching for a wisdom
                        C/G
That every man seeks to find
         Am7
I've got wicked thoughts a brewin'
                      C/G
Many evil deeds I've done
     Am7
I'm looking for a reason
                    C/G
For a reason not to run

Chorus (notice the Em7 isn't a regular one)

     Em
I've always been dark
     Dsus/2F#            Em7 -> Em7*(slide)
With light somewhere in the distance

Verse
     Am7
I've got no destination
                    C/G
No place to call my own
         Am7
I'll explore the constellations
                                 C/G
Till I find the course I mean to hone
          Am7
But come fever or come famine
                       C/G
Come the biting winter cold
             Am7
Just put two coins upon my eyelids
                            C/G
So I can pay the poor man's toll

Chorus

     Em
I've always been dark
     Dsus/2F#            Em7 -> Em7*(slide)
With light somewhere in the distance

      Em
I've been so unforgiving
   Dsus/2F#            Em7 -> Em7*(slide)
Stranded in old traditions
     Em
I've always been dark
     Dsus/2F#            Em7 -> Em7*(slide)
With light somewhere in the distance

Bridge

Played twice
Dsus2/F#  Em   CG

     Em
I've always been dark
     Dsus/2F#            Em7 -> Em7*(slide)
With light somewhere in the distance
