The VERSE chord pattern is a famliar one - Em G C But the CHORUS embellishment (D9) and the OUTRO run down (G - G/f# -) make it more interesting. The trickiest part is what he is doing with his right hand. He's using a basic 'educated thumb' playing alternate bass note and a middle note for each chord. If you have this technique already then the rest is pretty easy - if not you will need to watch the video carefully and practise what he does. When you listen to the song lots and play along then the pattern will sound easier.
NB: the second chord in the OUTRO is really a G/f# (ie simple G with an F# note on the bottom string) But the Automagic checker doesn't like that notation so I've called it a name that passes the test!!
[Verse 1] EmGC He’s an asphalt man just like his daddy EmGC Ten hour days of rolling tar buys a double wide EmGC Down an old dirt road outside the city EmGC On the edge of a muddy creek and the county line
[Chorus] D9Em Oh Maggie, keep an eye on the water line D9Em The car won’t start and the money never comes in on time D9EmCD9 Oh Maggie, keep an eye on the water line I feel it moving
[Verse 2] EmGC They’ve got a baby on the way but his wife still feels empty EmGC Says it’s hard to feel pretty when they're always counting dimes EmGC He sits up nights in the kitchen in the dark when it’s raining EmGC He can’t sleep for the sound pounding in his mind
[Chorus] D9Em Oh Maggie, keep an eye on the water line D9Em The car won’t start and the money never comes in on time D9EmCD9 Oh Maggie, keep an eye on the water line I feel it moving
[Outro] GGmaj7C I’m not a bad man, I’m a poor man GGmaj7C I’m not a bad man, I’m a poor man GGmaj7CGCG I’m not a bad man, I’m a poor man sinking
