play so here is my best attempt at transcribing it. Enjoy!

Dm-sus4(XX3233)
Cadd9 (X32033)
Em (022000)

(intro riff)
(G Dm-sus4 Cadd9 ) x 6
VERSE 1:
G
I was born my papa's son
Cadd9 Dm-sus4 (G Dm-sus4 Cadd9)x2
A wanderin' eye and a smokin' gun
G
Now some of you would live through me
Cadd9 Dm-sus4 (G Dm-sus4 Cadd9)x2
Lock me up and throw away the key
G
Or just find a place to hide away
Cadd9 Dm-sus4 (G Dm-sus4 Cadd9)x2
Hope that I'll just go away
CHORUS:
Em Dsus4 Cadd9 (G Dm-sus4 Cadd9)x2
I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
Em Dsus4 Cadd9 (G Dm-sus4 Cadd9)x2
I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
(same chord pattern throughout the song)
VERSE 2:
I'll bring you precious contraband
And ancient tales from distant lands
Of conquerors and concubines and
Conjurers from darker times
Betrayal and conspiracy
Sacrilege and heresy
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL
( G Cadd9 Dm-sus4 Cadd9 ) x 2 (listen to get the timing right)
( G Dm-sus4 Cadd9 ) x 4
VERSE 3:
I got every thing you wont or need
Your darkest fear, your fondest dream
I ask you questions, tell you lies
Criticize and sympathize
Be careful what you wish for friend
Because I've been to hell and now I'm back again
CHORUS
OUTRO:
(G Dm-sus4 Cadd9) x2
I feel alright
G Dm-sus4 Cadd9 (G)
I feel alright

This is probably an old tab but I want to add my opinion about the open D major chord. I believe it sounds most authentic to the studio version to play all the open D major chords as (starting with the low 6E): X00232. Note the important low 5A note, which is of course already a note of traditional D major when striking the 2nd fretted 3G string. I love the A/D major - JT Earle used it frequently as well.

Thank you. A great song to open a set with.
