Congrats to Johnny Gallagher on this amazing song and debut record - these chords should be almost identical

Also sometimes he substitutes Dsus4 for D during the verses but I think it's fine without.

My feet in the sand, like the bible land
Em7 D D7 (C7 shape up on 3rd fret)
With you, I just might live if I could

You can stab me in the back
Am Em7
I will always come back
Am C G
Running wild, through those wild, wild woods
[Verse 3]

The accent on the frog-bog barker sounds like Dublin to me

And the man at the top of the Ferris Wheel says "son, that's something that you never used to see"

Immigrants tearing your ticket to get on the merry-go-round
G D Cadd9 G
I said "that term describes you, buddy, me too, you best go on and get used to it now"

There's a window of candles in the boardwalk chapel that's slowly starting to fade

As a whole congregation in a holy celebration sings "everybody, everybody's gonna be saved"
Cadd9
Everybody, everybody's gonna be saved
G
Everybody, everybody's gonna be saved
Em Dsus4 D7
Everybody, everybody's gonna be saved
[Chorus 2]
C G Am Em7
And we'll watch that tram car carry us home on the crest of that rideway
Am C G
Waving goodbye to those wild, wild woods
