I don't know how to write the riffs that are added during the song.
Some are hammer on and pull offs on the 4th & 5th string while strumming
the D chord.

Verse
D Am7
The preacher man says its the end of time
G D
And the Mississippi River shes a goin dry
D Am7
The interest is up and the stock markets down
G D
And you only get mugged if you go down town

D Am7
I live back in the woods you see

My woman and the kids and the dogs and me

I can plow a field all day long
