Basically this song is a lot of different variations of C, and hammering on and off with your middle finger...
 listen to the song for the rhythm and to figure out exactly how it goes :)

Capo 3
C                        Cadd9 C/F        C                  Cadd9   C/F
Lend an ear I’ll tell you a story about a man who didn’t know how to be
C                  G             C/F    Dm
Joined a traveling circus from PEI to BC
C                  Cadd9   C/F    C                  Cadd9   C/F
I was playing dead every morning, I was taking dives every night
     C                G               C/F          Dm
Then someone came and swept me off my feet in mid-flight

    F                             C    Cadd9
Now without her love I really got nothing
F                               C   G
Without her love I’d hang up my shoes
F                  Dm           C/F            G       C
It’d be a world of suffering if this one I was ever to lose
       F                         C    Cadd9
So I’m hanging on with all of my power
F                        C  G
Hanging on as tight as a noose
F                   Dm             C/F               G      C
Around the midnight hour she said “remember that I’m easily bruised”
