Chords

The pull-on-offy stuff is fairly intuitive, basically it centers around the top two and involves a pull off on the B string: 0-1-3 between the G and C chords, and that same reverse a hammer on: 0-1-3, before you play the G chord. Listen to it and you'll get feel of it. The actual chord figuring out was the tricky part for me and I am not sure the G/C or the G/Dish chord that I transcribed, but it works.
F/Dish
-0-
-3- -2- -0- -2- -0-
       F            F             F
I got rid of the shackles that bound me

         F                C/F      G
and the guards that were always around me

       F            F             F
There were tears on the mail mother wrote me in jail

       F               F/Dish     F
But I'm free from the chain gang now

       F            F             F
All the years I was known and respected

         F                C/F      G
'til one day I was wrongly suspected

       F            F             F
I was shackled in chains in a cold freezin' rain

       F               F/Dish     F
but I'm free from the chain gang now

All the years I was known by a number

how I kept my mind is a wonder

       F            F             F
But like a bird in a tree I got my liberty

       F               F/Dish     F
and I'm free from the chain gang now
