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
E7 B7
When I was a rover, met a four leaf clover, she was Irish as the day was long
E7 A
I thought she'd give it to me maybe, now she's married with a baby
B7 E7
I've been dodging bullets all along
E7
Man, we would creep but never lost no sleep, I would cut cat nip into the
B7 E7 A B7
weed, nobody was the wiser but they could have been higher and it meant more
E7
money for me

A A E7 B7
Here's to not getting caught, doctor it's only a graze

Spinning like a top, running like a villain and the years are going by like

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
A E7 E7 B7
Small town shadows, clean out of sight, nothing to fear but the coming of
that morning light
A E7 C#m A B7
Ducking and dodging and diving for that rent, if it couldn't be broken, it
E7
could be bent

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)
