This is the tab for the album version of the song with the new lyrics. The music seems to be the same, so if
you want to sing the old lyrics, this should work for you.
For the first riff, hold the index finger on the B string first fret and hammer on and pull off the middle and
ring fingers. The trick is the pick control and timing in the right hand. Slide the ring finger to fret four
and back to two, then pluck the B string first fret to grab the other note that is higher. For the second
verse riff, use chromatics on the D string open, 1 and 2 fret, grab the note on the first fret of the B
string, and then it is hammer ons and pull offs on the G and D strings during the Em chord.
I may post another tab with the riffs and fills in the future.

[Verse 1]
AmIt was 29 years in dog years
Amsince i've seen my little lady
See I needed some space and tCime
To kill all my higGhway thrills
AmAnd now I'm back in her own little town
AmI've been dry and clean and I'm ready to try
This lCove thing agAmain and I wEmill never move in Cany direGction
FBut she lCaughed and said Gtimes have chanCged, and Ethere ain't no Gbed for you heCre
[Chorus]
Just hGit the bell with your elbow and cFome in from the rCain
GYou can promise me nothing and FI will do the saCme
AmI don't need you to fiGght for me and DI don't need you to cry
CJust hit the Embell with your Amelbow, Gyes, and come Fin with your Ghands up Chigh
