Chords
This second song is incredibly easy, since it's literally just G - D - C - G
for the entire song and then D - G at the end of each few verses.
That being said, I personally always find it obnoxious whenever
a guitar tab is literally just the lyrics with a few chords at the top though,
so for the sake of not having put one of THOSE tabs on the site, I'll map
it all out here.
CHORDS USED:

D
G We turned around, we were headin' south D We were tryin' to get off the island C Wishin' for a sky without any clouds G With a big nice bright sun shinin' G We found a spot in a soggy swamp D And set up our tiny tent C Our feet were wet again G But we were gettin' used to it D G Our feet were always wet G A man drove by in a silver car D With a mean look on his face C He looked at us in the rear-view G And then he hit the breaks G We walked up to the open window D Not knowin' what to think C But he wanted to know where we were goin' G And see if it was on his way G We told him we were goin' to Dover D And hopefully over to France that night C He said, "So am I, hop in G And I'll give you a ride" D G And we were on our way G He said he stopped to pick us up D Because we looked so out of luck C He was havin' a bad day too G But he thought we had him beat G It was his philosophy that if you see D Someone in a worse way than you C It's your ethical obligation G To stop and see what you can do D G I wish everyone thought that too G He asked if we had our tickets D And when our boat would leave C We confessed we didn't know that yet G And we'd get there then we'd see G He said, "You should just ride with me D Because passengers ride free C It takes a couple of hours G And I could use the company" D G So could we, so could we G But he was goin' to Belgium D And we were goin' to France C But we decided to change our plans G 'Cause you don't pass up a chance like that G We got there late and he was pissed D That he missed the hovercraft C If he'd have to take the slow boat G Then he would ride first class D G Our bad luck was gone at last G We got to the lonely lobby D And we filled our packs with snacks C They were free, those pastries G And those drinks would weight our backs G He could see our hesitation D We were concerned about bein' rude C He said, "Take as much as you can hold, kids G I was once like you D G I have been there too" G We got aboard the ferry D And they took us to our seats C Which were basically in a nice restaurant G And it looked like we were gonna get to eat G They brought us priceless menus D And they brought us more drinks C We were the only dirty kids there G With our big backpacks and stinky feet G So we ate our three-course meal D And talked to our new-found friend C We told him about the music we played G He was an electrician G He asked where we planned to sleep that night D We said we had no clue C He said, "I'll drop you off by the side of the road G That's what I used to do D G I was once like you"
