Up to the first chorus, Andy plays barre chords, then he switches to normal chords for 
the Bm is a barre chord and the C is a power chord
Figure out the strumming pattern yourself. I think he usually strums each chord 8 times 
Intro:
G x 32, Bm x 8, C x 8, G x 32
GI'll dig a hole in my rCoom
To BDirmingham and back again for yGou
I trGied what I could to be tCrue
I must admDit I wasn't really really listening Gto you
I fGolded my hands to a bCird
The sDhadows made you laugh they made your sGun burn
Do you thGink think we can rotate our tCurns?
I thDink you've got a good thing going thGink it's gonna be alright sometime I swear
 G   G   G   G(32 strums)
I trGied what I could to belCieve
In sDomething bigger than that you were rGeal
You lGaughed I was praising you, you sCee
Then wDith my arms lifted I was jGoking
    BmDo you really Clike being aloDne?D  
    BmDo you really Clike being aloDne?  Ooh ooh ah Dayee ah
I pGlay my guitar in my rCoom
Chris yDells at me he's trying just to vGacuum
I'm wrGiting the things that were lCeaked
Your fDingers and your legs and alphabGetically
I dGid what I could to be trCue
I must admDit that nobody was really listening Gto you
So let's fGly this plane over the mCoon
HDopefully I'll make it back rGeal soon
    BmDo you really Clike being aloGne? Of course yGou don't
    BmDo you really Clike being aloGne?G  
    BmDo you really Clike being aloDne?D  
When if you went back hGome
And got an actual jGob
And kissed your wGife and two daughters
like I wGish I could
Then we would all be fCree
                      G   D (each half the usual length)
 G   G(16 strums)
The lGights they were bright on my sCkin
Just trying to fDigure out what you mean with eteGrnal sin
So I Gasked for forgiveness agaCin
I dDon't know if I got it but my fGingers are crossing
    BmI don't really Clike being alGone, of course I don'tG  
    BmI don't really Clike being alGoneG  
    BmI don't really Clike being alDoneD  
So I think I might just go bacGk home
And get an actual jGob
And stop selling my sGoul to the devil
He buys so much mGerch from us
And then we'd all be fCree
                      G   D (each half the usual length)
G (8 strums)
    BmI don't really lCike being alGoneG

I think I might just go back hGome
And get an actual jGob
And tell both my rGedneck neighbors
