Pretty simple song, just two chords the whole time. Listen to the song to get the strum down. 
                     Let Your Troubles Roll By
                          by Carbon Leaf
ALove endures, it clings Daway 
AWhen asked to leave, it begs to Dstay
ALike the perfect song, at imperfect Dtimes
AIt's the way the chord's struck with the Drhymes
DSo let your troubles roll by.
AHe knows he can help himself
DHe can tell by a look at the books on his shelf
AAnd someone somewhere loses her son before 
DHer own sunset is said and done.
AAnd she dreams of sunflowers bentover
DFrozen in the snow and thinks Colorado
AThen plays her life back in slow-motion
DTo keep in touch with that raw emotion
AIn the night, crushed empty can
DOlive Oil's waiting for her man
ATo come in from the fight that will change their life
DFor good this time
Refrain:
When all of your Atears dry, let your troubles roll Dby
When all of your Atears dry, let your troubles roll Dby
When all of your Atears dry, let your troubles roll Dby, let your troubles roll 
by. A  D  
ALike New Year's Eve, tonight's underway
Dbut tomorrow you'll wake up afraid of the day,
ACause underneath the scars of your broken dreams
DAn undone war still wages and stings
AYou fear the year will blow like a breeze through a
DRainbow you swear it's there but you can't grab a 
AHold, so you sit and cry and wonder Dwhy, why?
to Refrain
ASo many cities and windows and lives and
Dthrough each one there's a soul that strives to survive
ASo pay no mind, my sorrow's fine
DThe day is alive and that's why i cry
AIt's the New Year's Toast grab your list to conspire,
DThe last snake hissed as he was thrown in the fire
AYou've come far and though you're far from the end
DYou don't mind where you are cause you know where you've been
ALike a culture vulture sprawled out on the floor
Dlike a dead devil sailor washed up on the shore
AWith nothing of note but the old captain's coat
DAnd a burning boat you just sank with your salty
Atears dry, let your troubles roll Dby
When all of your your Atears dry,let your troubles roll Dby
When all of your your Atears dry,let your troubles roll Dby, let your troubles  
roll by.
(Repeat the two chords once or twice and then fade)

Let Your Troubles Roll By

by Carbon Leaf

A D

Love endures, it clings away

A D

When asked to leave, it begs to stay

A D

Like the perfect song, at imperfect times

A D

It's the way the chord's struck with the rhymes

So let your troubles roll by.

He knows he can help himself

He can tell by a look at the books on his shelf

And someone somewhere loses her son before

Her own sunset is said and done.

And she dreams of sunflowers bentover

Frozen in the snow and thinks Colorado

Then plays her life back in slow-motion

To keep in touch with that raw emotion

In the night, crushed empty can

Olive Oil's waiting for her man

To come in from the fight that will change their life

For good this time

Refrain:

A D

When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by

A D

When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by

A D

When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by, let your troubles roll

A D

by.

Like New Year's Eve, tonight's underway

but tomorrow you'll wake up afraid of the day,

Cause underneath the scars of your broken dreams

An undone war still wages and stings

You fear the year will blow like a breeze through a

Rainbow you swear it's there but you can't grab a

A D

Hold, so you sit and cry and wonder why, why?

to Refrain

So many cities and windows and lives and

through each one there's a soul that strives to survive

So pay no mind, my sorrow's fine

The day is alive and that's why i cry

It's the New Year's Toast grab your list to conspire,

The last snake hissed as he was thrown in the fire

You've come far and though you're far from the end

You don't mind where you are cause you know where you've been

Like a culture vulture sprawled out on the floor

like a dead devil sailor washed up on the shore

With nothing of note but the old captain's coat

And a burning boat you just sank with your salty

A D

tears dry, let your troubles roll by

A D

When all of your your tears dry,let your troubles roll by

A D

When all of your your tears dry,let your troubles roll by, let your troubles

roll by.
