Notes: There are chords mixed in with the riffs that I didn't
bother to write out. It's pretty easy to figure out where they
go. Each riff is only written once, but used at least a few times
-- it should be obvious where.
There's one chord that I don't know the name of for sure. I wrote
it as C9maj7 (my best guess), and it looks like this (low to high):
x20010
Intro - start with a G chord, then:

I Gwonder if anybody Dknows just why    CI had to shoot him Ddown
  G    D    C       D    GAnd now I lay me Ddown to rest
AmGod bless the boy, my Cbullet in his chDest
  GBut you can't bless me  D'cause I lost my soul
  COut on the Dglory rGoad
