> signifies continuous strumming of the chord
In the last 2 measures he throws in a couple of muted notes, which are fairly easy to duplicate.
PD- VERSE:
(The F9 to F13 movement is really what defines this song):
|Bb |Bb Bb7 |F9 F13 |F9 F13 |Bb |Bb |
VERSE & CHORUS:
F9 Bb Bb7
Oh, oh please, won't someone bury mine for me?
F9 F9(#5) F9 Bb
'Cause I'm all broken up, I could use, I could use a steady hand
Eb Bb
Oh there ain't nothing in this world, oh nothing wrong except your soul, [he scats]
B C C13
Still he never shows, that I would not know, nothing to do with the fifty thousand
B13 Bb13 F7 F13 F7 F13
dollar rewaaaard, although!
[On the last 4 chords above, he uses the same lick as in measure 5 of the intro.]
E|E|-----||
He then returns to the 'Pre-verse':
|Bb |Bb |F9 F13 |F9 F13 |Bb |Bb |
Followed by the verse and chorus. Same lyrics, although he's loose with it as always :)
E|E|-----||
OUTRO:
The common bluesy trick of hammering on from the minor to major third is used here,
while strumming only the top 4 strings:
(again, > means just keep strumming the chord)

The song then finishes with these chords:
