Does anyone have the chords/lyrics for the new Roger Miller cover that Crackerfarm just posted on Youtube? "Where have all the average people gone?"

I'm not sure if this is what Scott is playing, but this is what i've found on other sites:
Where Have All The Average People Gone
By Roger Miller
Capo 2
C C/B F G C
C C/B F
The people in the city call me country
G C
Because of how I walk and talk and smile
C C/B F
Well, I don’t mind them laughing in the city
G C
But the country folks all say I’m citified
C C/B F
The fightin’ men may say that I’m a coward,
G C
Because I never push no one around.
C C/B F
Gentle people call me troublemaker,
G C
Because I’ll always fight and stand my ground.
F F/E
Funny I don’t fit,
Dm C
Where have all the average people gone?
Some pious people point and call me sinner,
Because to them I’ve never seen the light.
Other folks think of me as a preacher,
I’m just doin’ what I think is right.
The wealthy people think that I am a hobo,
Lean and hungry writin’ mournful songs.
And the poor, poor people think I am a rich man,
But really, I’m just tryin’ to get along.
Yes it’s funny I don’t fit,
Tell me, where have all the average people gone?
Capo up to 4
And the government has given me a number,
To simplify my birth and life and death.
And still my woman thinks I’m awful important,
Like moon and sun and sea and sky and breath.
Yes, it’s funny I don’t fit,
Where have all the average people gone?
Honey I don’t fit,
Where have all the average people gone?
Thank you!!!

i play it like this..and forgive me because i don't know the names of all the chords.
but i play the verse like this:
Capo 2
---------------3--------------------------------------------
-1---1---1---0---1--0---1-------------------------------
-0---0---2---0---2--0---0-------------------------------
-2---0---2---0---3--0---2-------------------------------
-3---2---0---2-------2---3-------------------------------
---------------3-------3-------------------------------------
C, ?, Am, G, F, G6, C
Then i play the chorus
F, Em, Dm, G, C
It's the same chords as Murder in the City - C, B/C, Am, G, F, G, C
Also in the chorus I don't like the way Dm or D7 sounds but if you play either and don't pick/strum the bottom two strings it sounds good. Just my two cents...
