Letters immediately after a slash (/) are a bass notes.
So the �C2 /C /B D/A� is a C2 chord then a C bass, B bass,
then D chord with an A as the bass note. There were a lot of
slashes to keep track of; let me know if I made any mistakes.
It's hard to hear exactly what notes are in the chords,
but this sounds close.

D D/A D4/B D4/E
give my jewels to the army, my silverware and jeans
D D/A D4/B D4/E
give my love to your family; tell them anything.
D D/A D4/B D4/E
give yourself to anyone; give yourself away
D D/A D4/B D4/E
don't be a nightingale for anyone's space to fill.

D D/A D4/B D4/E
it takes a lot of little rain to make you feel like
D D/A D4/B D4/E
nothing.

anything, anything you can do, do to me for everything
D D/A D4/B D4/E

if you kiss me kiss me with your silver eyes

your arms around my shoulderblades

are useless.
