An absolutely gorgeous song. This was a bit tricky to figure out, but here's the 
best estimate I've been able to come up with. 

Listen to the song for the chord changes

Intro:

D E F#m 

D E F#m A E

E D


D  E    F#m
On this hilltop
F#m      E
I buried you
E    D
As a younger man

D   E      F#m
We gathered 'round
F#m        E
Your empty husk
E            D               A
And spoke of how you were so loved

D      E   F#m
And as the sun died
F#m        E
I promised I
E              D
Would seek you out

D       E     F#m
And now the years have
F#m       E
weathered me
E           D                A    A/Ab      F#m
And soon'll claim you for my arms  a    -   gain

D           E          A       D 
And if our hearts all disappear
D            E         F#m     A      
And if our bones they crumble to the soil
D         E          A    D
Well our love will rise again


INTERLUDE

D - E - D - E - D - F#m - A - E X2

E - F#m - E - D - F#m - E - D

Hold D for a really long time

D - E - A - D

D - E - F#m - A

D - E - A - D

D - E  

Repeat this pattern until...

D          E          A      D
And if our hearts all disappear
D           E          F#m         A 
And if our bones they crumble to the soil
D            E         A     D
And all our love will rise again
D               E
And we'll float to the sea

D            E        A      D
And if our hearts all disappear
D            E         F#m          A 
And if our bones they crumble to the soil
D            E         A      D
And all our love will rise again
D               E      F#m (let ring)
And we'll float to the sea
