This is how I tend to pick the chords that are used,
you could always strum them but this is the style he has on the piano.
Also, the chords above the words aren't
in the exact place that you should change,
it all depends how you sing it, just work it out for yourself.

For he would not swallG7ow, his foolish Cpride
Mind Am7you, coming from a little town in MinneDm7sota,

When a fellow went and sCtole his chick away from him.

Now sAm7he and her man who Dm7called himself Dan
Were G7in the next room aCt the hoe down
And RAm7ocky burst in and grDm7inning a grin
He said G7Danny Boy this is Ca showdown
But DAm7aniel was hot, he dDm7rew first and shot
And G7Rocky collapsed in the Ccorner.
