Notes:
* after the chords means either a single normal down strum, or a slower down strum so you hear every 
string.
Also the Amazing Grace is four bars long starting 2 counts after Johnny's chorus and start of the 
3rd bar you switch to Eb for a full bar back to Bb for two counts and then going into the final chorus.

[Verse 1]
GI left my dear trying to find adventure
She spent Dyears trading my whiskey out for selGtzer
Still I heCar her voice in the pit of my faiGlure
I ride Dalone down Goodbye GRoad

Just to Dfind it ain't getting any beGtter
And still I Chear her voice so clear and so Gtender
It's my tale to Dtell down Goodbye GRoad

CStrangers, outcasts, Gartists and thieves
CMisfits, legends and Glost refugees

And when I Chear that voice I try to move a bit Gfaster
I'd rather walk Dalone down Goodbye GRoad
