Capo 5th fret (or play open in the key of C)
This song is in 4/4, but has some goofy accents: band enters on the "and" of beat 1 for the
intro and after the
first chorus; enters on beat 2 after the second and last choruses.
The acoustic guitar plays the bass notes of the chords on the beat, but otherwise 
largely accents the chords
(down strum) on the "and"s.
Intro: |  G- - - |  C   G/B   Am- |  C-  D- |  G- - - |
Verse 1:

Intro
Verse 2:
They say that nobler men prevail, and lord knows that I'm not one
I put off all my growing up for the sake of having fun
I'll do right by you someday, but I’m damned if I know how
‘Cause I follow where my compass leads, but it's always pointing south
Chorus
Fiddle solo over the chorus progression
Alternate Chorus: (sung a capella over claps and hollers)
Throw me out, I’m wasted in so many ways
Toss me back, into that deep dark sea
Burn me up, just give me to the fire, doll
Nothing good ever could come from me
Chorus (same as above, but hold the C for a whole measure and follow with a D for a 
whole measure)
