[Intro]
Billy basically plays through the verse chords with some of his usual Billy runs, licks, and magic thrown in.
[Verse 1]
Am
I've had seven weeks in County, boys
C G Am
But I won’t blame The Man
Am
I've won and lost some poker chips
C G Am
But I don't blame the hand
F
It's been seven years of famine
Am
But I never blamed the land
Am
Just give me peace and quiet, Boss
Am Em Am
I'll take it where I can
Am
Just give me peace and quiet, Boss
Am Em Am
I'll take it where I can
[Chorus]
F
My only enemy
Am
Is out to get me
F Am
To make me pay for what I've done
F
He's out to catch me
Am
And he's on the trail to find me
Dm Am
Sure as hell he’ll whip me when he does
Dm Am
Sure as hell he’ll whip me when he does
[Verse 2]
Am
There’s a hunger in my belly
C G Am
And a pounding in my head
Am
The buzzards turn impatiently
C G Am
Expecting I'll be dead
F
Desert sun is burning high above
Am
My shadow can't find shade
Am
I bought seven weeks in County
Am Em Am
To lay in that bed I made
Am
I bought seven weeks in County
Am Em Am
To lay in that bed I made
[Chorus]
F
My only enemy
Am
Is out to get me
F Am
To make me pay for what I've done
F
He's out to catch me
Am
And he's on the trail to find me
Dm Am
Sure as hell he’ll whip me when he does
Dm Am
Sure as hell he’ll whip me when he does
[Verse 3]
Am
Each day I see his evil eyes
C G Am
The man who put me here
Am
I see him when I shave my face
C G Am
So guilty in the mirror
F
Looking back disgusted
Am
With a hollow hateful stare
Am
For seven weeks in County
Am Em Am
And for always, every-where
Am
For seven weeks in County
Am Em Am
And for always, every-where
[Chorus]
F
My worst enemy
Am
Is out to get me
F Am
To make me pay for what I've done
F
He's out to catch me
Am
And he's on the trail to find me
Dm Am
Sure as hell he’ll whip me when he does
Dm Am
Sure as hell he’ll whip me when he does

The 4th line of each verse should actually be F instead of G:
But [F] I don't [G] blame the [Am] hand

The only issue I see is it should be the following (you have the Dm too soon):
[Am] Sure as hell he’ll [Dm] whip me when he [Am] does
