Verse: 
 
It's best to play this song with bass accompaniment, but  
you can do the bass part on guitar like so: 
 
(repeat through verses) 
E -------------------- 
B -------------------- 
G -------3-2-0-------- 
D ---5---------3------ 
A -3---3-------------- 
E -------------------- 
 
occasionally, the guitar kicks in (listen for timing): 
 
E -5--6--8-- 
B -5--6--8-- 
G -6--7--9-- 
D ---------- 
A ---------- 
E ---------- 
 
Chorus: 
 
alternate between 
 
E ----------------- 
B -10--3--5-------- 
G -10--3--5-------- 
D -10--3--5-------- 
A --8--1--3-------- 
E ----------------- 
(obviously, you can do the Bb and C at the 6th and  
8th frets if you prefer, but this way you can add a 
bit of slide) 
 
and 
 
E -------------------- 
B -10--12------------- 
G -10--12------------- 
D -10--12--10--------- 
A --8--10--10--------- 
E ----------8--------- 
 
then, over "girl, there's a better life...", strum and hold: 
 
E -1-- 
B -3-- 
G -2-- 
D -0-- 
A ---- 
E ---- 
 
and then repeat 2x before returning to the verse  
(single strums): 
 
E -------------------- 
B -10--8--3--5-------- 
G -10--8--3--5-------- 
D -10--8--3--5-------- 
A --8--6--1--3-------- 
E --------------------
