It seems this song is going to be on their new album Remedy (July 1). They
released this tune on Memorial Day. I couldn't find the lyrics, so there might be some errors
Rate it and provide feedback.
The chords are based on the Ketch and Critter recording in Floyd, VA (link below).

It is a simple straight forward C,F,G progression, with a rocking base on the C at times.
I think they album version is in D.

Verse 1:
CThe service went the way it should have goFne no one talked to loudG or cried too loGng except your momma's new

CWell Just about then a Ftruck backfired and all the Gboys they flinched their heGads. Yea it choked me
