Capo: 4
Tuning: E A D G B E
This is technically in E major because of capo 4, but it is played
with standard open shapes. As such, the tab will be based on the shapes
not the actual chord. This is in the key of the "C Shape."
Cleaned this up quite a bit from first version. Still not 100% but much closer now.
Yes, I know some of the hammer-ons/pull-offs make some chords Cadd9 and such, but since
everything is built off of open position I'm going to keep the tab simplified.

Here it goes into the first verse, which is just going back to the C/G bassline.
The intro/hook is used again between verses 3 and 4 and after the final verse.
Below is just a general guideline for the verse part, this is the picking pattern for
each chord. In each respective verse, earlier on he uses the F triad shape and for the
last couple lines of each verse he used the F barre shape (excluding E and e).
[Verse]
C/G C F(triad) G F("barre")
e|----------------x---------------x--------------x--------------x----------------|
B|----1-----------x---1----1------x----1---1---1-x----3---3-----x----1---1-------|
G|----0--------0--x---0--------0--x----2-----2---x----0-------0-x----2--------3--|
D|-----------2----x----------2----x--3---3-------x----------0---x----------4-----|
A|--3-------------x-3---3---------x--------------x--------------x--4---4---------|
E|-------3--------x---------------x--------------x--3---3-------x----------------|
I differentiate C/G as opposed to just C and then G, this is a "bouncing" bass line
with the C/G chord, but he is just moving his ring finger back and forth. Important
to distinct from the C and then G later beacuse the G uses the entire shape and not
just the low E bass note.
Video is attached here. Just go give it a watch and you'll see the verses all follow
a similar structure in the order the chord shapes are played.

[Verse]
C/GI’ve seen truckstops and pitstops
FRest stops, dives, and gCift shops
GTook heavy jobs for pFay that waC/Gsn’t big
Make my living hauling cargo
All aroFund the wC/Ghole damn country
I’ve been Geverywhere and Fbarely left this C/Grig boys
I’ve been Geverywhere and Fbarely left this C/Grig
C/GWatch the white lines on the highway
FTry and slide right oC/Gut of my way
I chased the road bFeyond the setting C/Gsun
When it rises like a flower
FI’m still just clocking Chours
And I’ll Gsee it rise agFain before I’m C/Gdone boys
I’ll Gsee it rise agFain before I’m doC/Gne
[Chorus]
AFlbany to Omaha, it’s AdC/Gderall and alcohol
To pGick me up and sFet me doC/Gwn again
Well, my tired eyes are bloodshot
Like my gFuts been full of C/GBuckshot
And I fGeel 10,000 mFiles from a C/Gfriend

[Verse]
C/GLate at night, I miss my family
And I wFrestle with my sC/Ganity
On the mGoonless nights, I Fswear I see the C/Gdog
There’s no resting for the innocent
To Fhang on through the C/Gend of it
JGust around the Fbend and through the C/Gfog
[Chorus]
AFlbany to Omaha, it’s AdC/Gderall and alcohol
To pGick me up and sFet me doC/Gwn again

And I fGeel 10,000 mFiles from a C/Gfriend
I Gfeel 10,000 Fmiles from a fC/Griend
