He walks his bass line on the 1 and 3 and chucks on the 2 and 4.
Kind of like a boom-chuck strum.

Verse 1
E7When I was a rover, met a four leaf clover, she was Irish as the day was B7long
E7I thought she'd give it to me maybe, Anow she's married with a baby
B7I've been dodging bullets all E7along
E7Man, we would creep but never lost no sleep, I would cut cat nip into the
B7weed, E7nobody was the wiser but they Acould have been higher and it B7meant more
money for E7me
--------------------------
Chorus
Here's to notA getting caughAt, E7doctor it's only a B7graze
E7Spinning like a top, Arunning like a villain and the B7years are going by like
E7dayF#s, E7years are going B7by like E7days. E7DayF#s, E7years are going B7by like E7days.

Verse 2(Same as above)
School bus, I got on it, I was nearly catatonic,
I couldn't speak a goddamn word Homeroom class, forge a hall pass and we would get
higher than the birds
My foolish nature, the chase for the paper, I would deal in the broad daylight
18 years old, head full of psilocybin and howling at the moon all night
------------------------
Chorus(Same as above)
------------------------
Bridge
ASmall town shadows, E7clean out of sight, E7nothing to fear but the coming B7of
that morning light
ADucking and dodging and E7diving for that C#mrent, if it couldn't be AbrokB7en, it
could be E7bent

Verse 3(Same as above)
Washing dishes, stealing kisses, making our deals on the side
She said are you ready honey, we got gas money, going on a real long ride
Lying like a rug, prescription drugs, old guitars, new girlfriends
Everybody shunned me, I just thought that it was funny and I'd do it all over again
-----------------------
Chorus(Same as above)
