The whole song is played in two chords, which can be septacorded, etc. for a more interesting progression.
Even the beat that the guitar plays repeats over and over.
The strumming pattern specified lacks chord changes so here are the chords with time:
Am G Am
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 &
I recommend picking the A string and then D, G and B strings on the offbeat.
Am G Am
Am G Am
[Verse]
Am G Am Am G Am
Ryan rewards those who are strong and able.
Am G Am Am G Am
Well I work hard just puttin’ food on the table.

don’t I have a slice of that pie?
[Chorus]
Am C G Am
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 &

If Ryan can have it why can’t I?

Why can’t I have a slice of that pie?

of opportunity is just pie in the sky.
