I love this song and couldn't believe no one had put this out here before now.
I think this is pretty close but it's hard to really hear the guitar at parts.
riff easier and let it ring cleaner if you want to finger pick this song.

[Verse 1]
Em Em There's a woman hater with a broken record player Em Em And a dusty compass off to map the country's new behavior
[Chorus]
G Bm D/F# Em Strange words and we all roll back into the river G Bm D/F# Em With brave boys in the empty coats of men
[Verse 2]
Em Em There's a kitchen timer, distractions, and reminders Em Em That the roly-polies slowly crawling 'cross your family china
[Chorus]
G Bm D/F# Em Strange words and we all roll back into the river G Bm D/F# Em And dead dogs only want to live a-gain
[Funky Banjo Bridge - riffing on that 4p2 the guitar is doing]
Em
[Verse 3]
Em Em There's a serpent charmer, and a pair of shoes and wander Em Em A speeding ticket, you got leading that last lamb to slaughter
[Chorus]
G Bm D/F# Em Strange words and we all roll back into the river G Bm D/F# Em Good girls come and kick you in the shin
[Verse 4]
Em Em There's a hopeful hunter with a helpless sense of wonder Em Em And a million claw marks on the rock, he hid his money under
[Chorus]
G Bm D/F# Em Strange words and we all roll back into the river G Bm D/F# Em And made men only want to live a-gain
