[Intro]
Dsus2
 
[Verse 1]
Dsus2
Up in Pocahontas, near the Cranberry Glades
Bm              G              A             Dsus2
Ain’t got bars, nor the charge to call her anyways
Bm                 G          A                       Dsus2
My mind’s a mile a minute, my thoughts they bark like hounds
        Bm            G                A         Dsus2
but I’m focused on my breathing in the universal sound
 
[Verse 2]
Dsus2
I think about my darling girl, sleeping all alone
  Bm                  G                 A              Dsus2
I pray the stars will shoot her all the wishes she can hold
       Bm         G         A              Dsus2
On the day that I return, I aim to lay her down
    Bm             G              A         Dsus2
But right now, I’m focused on the universal sound
 
[Instrumental]
Dsus2 Bm G A Dsus2
Bm G A Dsus2
 
[Verse 3]
Dsus2
I think about tobacco juice and Mason jars of shine
  Bm              G              A            Dsus2
I think about the vices I’ve let take me over time
  Bm                  G              A            Dsus2
I recall when I was a baby, I didn’t need nothing around
      Bm           G               A         Dsus2
But a little bitty rattler and the universal sound
 
[Bridge]
  G        Dsus2
I close my eyes
       G      Dsus2
It was all so clear
       G         Dsus2
It was all right then
                 A
It was all right here
 
[Verse 4]
Dsus2
I focus on my breathin’ in the universal sound
  Bm             G             A               Dsus2
I let it take me over from the toenails to the crown
         Bm            G             A             Dsus2
‘Til the body that I’m in, ‘til they put me in the ground
      Bm            G             A         Dsus2
And I return to the chorus of the universal sound
 
[Instrumental]
G Dsus2 G Dsus2 G Dsus2 A
 
[Verse 5]
Dsus2
I’ve been up on the mountain, and I’ve seen his wondrous grace
     Bm             G                   A                 Dsus2
I’ve sat there on a bar stool, and I’ve looked him in the face
   Bm              G               A                Dsus2
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down
       Bm             G           A         Dsus2
He was humming to the neon of the universal sound
 
[Outro]

I was watching him play this live and it looks like it's not a Dsus2 but it's a full D and he hammers on and pulls off the G string.
