This is a good one for all you rhythm players:
You have to listen to get it right. If you give a quick lift and play open strings 
the D and Cadd9 in the intro and the E and D on the outro it sounds pretty good, to me atleast.
Standard Tuning

Intro strumming is D, Cadd9, G, D

Verse 1
        D                               Cadd9     G        D
My Grandmother owned a night club on the Arkansas Oklahoma line
                                                                    A7

       D
I'd box up those empty longnecks and stack 'em in the back and make a hand
                                           Cadd9        G

                                      Cadd9              G             
 D
Yes I have sacked some quartebacks and broke my share of bones along the way
                                                          A7

                                                             A7
Every corn dog fair and rodeo and sold out every basketball arena
        D                          Cadd9         G            D
Like to get down with my boys in Afghanistan and Bahgdad City too
