This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Notes for the advance player.
The chords used above are good chords to use but they are not the actual ones that Greg Keelor used. Apart
from the E chord, all other chords were different. This youtube video of them playing the song live will
show what I mean.

To play the chords you need to use your thumb on the sixth string, and keep the first string open.
