Scott picks a lot of the individual notes, but try this. I don't have my guitar with me so I don't know if it sounds right, but it looks right as far as chords go from the Crackerfarm vid.

Intro:
C-D-G
C-D-G
G-C

(G)This and who I used to be
don't matter much at (C)all to (G)me.
(G)The pit you dug to plant your feet's
a far cry from my (C)destiny (G)

Not even the (C)clouds.
Not even the (G)past.
Not even the hands of God could hold me back from you

C-D-G

and so on. Hope this helps.

I have a little different take on this one. Emphasis on the walking bass lines, obviously. This board cannot code things so they line up, so you have to check it out yourself.
