Death Of An Interior Decorator

There aren't chords for this song anywhere that I can find, so I did it myself.
I've also included a tab for the main guitar riff of the song; it stretches
over multiple chords, so hopefully the way that I notated it is clear enough.

Capo III, all chords (and tab for riff) relative to capo.

Intro:
Riff
|G   |Em  |C   |G   |
|G   |Em  |C   |G   |

G Riff     Em        C              G
You were the mother of three girls so sweet
     G Riff             Em            C              G 
That stormed through your turnstile and climbed to the street
G Riff  Em               C        G 
But after conception, your body lay cold
    G Riff         Em             C              G 
And withered through autumn and you found yourself old
                D                 B7
Can you tell me why you have been so sad?

G Riff  Em         C       G
He took a lover on a faraway beach
      G Riff     Em          C           G 
While you arranged flowers and chose color schemes
                D                 B7 G  C 
Can you tell me why you have been so saaad?
                D                 B7 G Riff  
Can you tell me why you have been so sad?

|Em  |C   |G   |

Riff
|G   |Em  |C   |G   |

G                  Am          Em           D
The girls were all there, they traded their vows
G                            Am       C 
The youngest one glared with furrowed brow
        G        Am         Em      D
As they tenderly kissed and cut the cake
    G                      Am        C 
The bride then tripped and broke the vase
G           Am            Em       D
The one you thought would span the years
   G                  Am      C 
So perfectly placed below the mirror
  G      Am        Em          D
Arriving late, you cleaned the debris
    G               Am    C 
And walked into the angry scene

   Am             Em         D    E
It felt just like falling in love again
       Am             Em         D    C
And it felt just like falling in love again

Riff
|G   |Em  |C   |G   |
|G   |Em  |C   |G   |

                D                 B7 G  C 
Can you tell me why you have been so saaad?
                D                 B7            G 
Can you tell me why you have been so...
