This is how Zach plays the song in the single version on Spotify:
Capo on the 4th fret
Palm mute the strings on all choruses except the last one
Single strum each chord on the fourth verse and the outro
[Intro]
C G Am F
C G Am F
[Verse 1]
      Am                           F
Was a boy who was a dreamer and he flew so high and proud
     C                           G
In a world full of people out to cut his young ass down
       Am                F
No one ever understood a single word he said
     C                              G
They cast him to the wolves when he wasn't well and fed
[Bridge]
Am F C G
[Verse 2]
Am                         F
Boys, we've got a riser, a riser in our midsts
    C                                      G
And he will get the last laugh if it's the last thing he did
       Am                             F
And he used to to roll around in that red dirt mud
    C                               G                          G
But now he's skippin' town and that riser's out for blood
[Chorus]
           Am           F
Don't stop goin', goin' south
               C                       G
'Cause they'll let you play your music real damn loud
           Am               F
Don't stop heading, heading south
                 C                             G                           G
'Cause they will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
[Bridge]
Am F C G
[Verse 3]
         Am                       F
And that boy called his daddy, to tell him what he did
       C                               G
As the masses scream the lyrics of the messed up kid
    Am                               F
And then he told that old man he was never coming back
      C                   G                  G
To be cut down again in a town like that
[Verse 4]
       Am                           F
And he surely came to learn: people come to watch you fall
C                             G
He's out to make a name and a fool out of 'em all
            Am                    F
And they'll never understand that boy and his kind
       C                        G
'Cause all they comprehend is a fucking dollar sign
[Chorus]
              Am           F
So don't stop goin', goin' south
               C                       G
'Cause they'll let you play your music real damn loud
           Am               F
Don't stop heading, heading south
                 C                             G
'Cause they will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
[Outro]
           Am           F
Don't stop goin', goin' south
          C                             G
They will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
           Am           F
Don't stop goin', goin' south
               C                         G
'Cause they'll let you scream your music real damn loud
