Hi there! This is a good song from Toby Keith and
it's really easy to play too.
The intro is palm muted and sort of picked and strummed.
I just "wing it" since I can't pick and it still sounds
good:)
UPDATE-
**I've changed the line "I'll come home one day and find you"
to- A(sus4) Em(7) D(/F#) G A. It's easier to get the D/F# in
there when playing the A and Em as sus4 and 7. Also changed the
A to an F#m like suggested in the comments below! Thanks weswes088
and jared5595 :)

Intro-
D (I palm mute intro and verses)
D
Walked downtown in my broke down shoes
F#m
To the Side Street Pub with the bar band blues
G
Take a back seat at the front door table
A
Order me a Bud and shot of Black Label
D
Close this place down once again
F#m
Sittin' here wishin' you'd walk right in
G
Down my shot, shoot my beer
A
I ain't gotta go home but I can't stay here
(Stop muting)
G A
It's a short, short walk down to my second home
G
But that boulevard gets longer
A G A
When you're walkin' back alone
D A
And I don't know where you might be
Bm G D
Where ever it is it'll be without me
Asus4 Em7 D/F# G A
Keep thinkin' I'll come home one day and find you
D A
Long as I got that neon light
Bm G
Shinin' like a beacon in the night
Em A
I know I can make it downtown by myself
G D G
'Cause if you don't know where you're goin'
A D -muted
You might end up somewhere else
D
Kickin' off my shoes stumblin' through the front door
F#m
Knowin' too well the kind of night I'm in for
G
Cubs got beat again on Sports Center
A
My bedroom's cold as my TV dinner
G A
One more cigarette and I'll kill the light
G A G A
And I lay there wishin' you were sleepin' by my side
D A
I don't know where you might be

Wherever it is it'll be without me
