I've mostly used 'normal' chord names, so as not to make it too convoluted.
In this tuning the correct chord names would be a bit different.
Suggested shapes (in order of appearance):
A5 002200
C/G 332000 (C6/G)
Em 022000 (Emadd4)
G 320003 (Gadd9)
D x00202
F/C x3320x

C/GNow I'm bound for GNazareth town with Dall the mistakes I've C/Gmade
WellC/G God is good and it's Gunderstood, but he Dmoves in mysterious A5ways
C/GHe saw it all, my Gfolderol, my Drough and rowdy C/Gfriends
in fact C/GI was getting wrecked in a GMotel 6, when he Dshowed up in the A5back
C/GSo goodbye sweet GGenevieve and gDoodbye my Tulsa fC/Griends
But C/Ghey everybody did you Ghear the news, JeDsus shot me in the hA5ead

GSo I'm on the Droad again, yes I'm on the road C/Gagain
GNo more Drolling down that A5wicked tEmrack, I'm gC/Gone to seeF/C the kinGg
