The capo is on the 3rd fret, and this is just a basic outline of the chords.  As you can tell,
the studio recording is much more involved.  Enjoy.
 
C  G/B Am  F  G
C  G/B Am  F  G
 
[Verse 1]
C                   G/B       Am
I’m just a lonesome ol’ rounder
F
Never meant to hurt no one
G
But some flames are hard to simmer
C                  G/B      Am
I wore my pride on my bad side 
            F                                G
and on the other kept my hand close by the trigger
 
[Chorus]
F                             G
Some folks are guided by the weight of their tongues 
F                                G
But we all fall silent at the end of a gun, And now I’m 
C               G/B      Am
Just a lonesome ol’ rounder
        F                         G
With a number for my name and a rope to haunt my dreams
 
[Verse 2]
C                                 G/B           Am
They’re gonna hang me boys from a tall, tall tree
   F                          G
Those demons, they’ll be the death of me
   F                           G
Some folks are guided by some light of the Lord
  F                                  G
But me I was blinded and I’ll never afford my salvation
 
C  G/B Am  F  G
C  G/B Am  F  G
 
[Chorus 3]
C                   G/B       Am
I’m just a lonesome ol’ rounder
   F                           G
Darkness grows, and then it’s gone
C                    G/B         Am
And at the end of this lonely road
F                                       G
Those deeds you’ve done they say you’ll never go home
F                             G
Some folks are guided by the love they share
F                                G
But darkness called and left me unaware
C                       G/B     Am
Now I’m just a lonesome ol’ rounder 
 F                                  G
With a few last words and one last meal
C                           G/B                 Am
They’re gonna hang me, boys, come the morning light
F                                 G
When darkness smiles and all is still
          C  G/B Am  F  G  (fade slowly until you end on a C)
All is still
