This is how I fingerpick the chords, listen to the song for the rhythm
and for how many times to repeat each chord pattern:

Verse
D                       
sparrow and wolf lay as still as the blades of the grass
     Bm                     G                          
like worn leather boots, of color 
                      D
and size that would last

D
caught them a lark in a trap, and each held a wing
          Bm            G                             
then they tore it apart, before 
                        D
that small bird could sing

Bm G  D  D
oh-oo-oh 
D  A  D
oh-oo-oh

D                   
confused by the wind, bruised by the size of the rain
    Bm               G                       
she turned in to him, begged for 
                D
the light to remain
D
but plans have been made, all the furniture sold
    Bm                G                              
so store up your hate, use it for 
                        D
warmth when you're cold

Chorus
G
for I have seen no joy, only danger,
D
I see no joy, only strangers,
A                               G
I see no joy; see no joy in this world.
G
should you, choose to go, please be careful of
D
lonesome roads, men who travel them
A                                   
will not know, will not know of 
        G
your ways.

Chorus
G
still I have, seen no joy, only dangers, I
D
see no joy, only strangers, I
A                              G 
see no joy, see no joy in this world

you should choose to go, please remember what
D
you have learned, from the little bird
A                              G
always dear, always dear to my heart
