No capo, no problem. This is The Way I Talk by Morgan Wallen with the main riff and solo included. Since this is for acoustic, I tabbed the solo up to make sense for solo playing acoustic guitars. It sounds correct either way, but I like to leave the strings open for the chorus and solo so all those have open b and e strings, like this:

  E     B   C#m   A
e|-0----0----0----0--------------|
B|-0----0----0----0--------------|
G|-1----4----6----2--------------|
D|-2----4----6----2--------------|
A|-2----2----4----0--------------|
E|-0-----------------------------|

[Verse 1]

E
  It's got a touch of the town where I grew up

F#m7
  Something in it, them California girls love

E
  Some people like to make a little fun of

F#m7
  The way I talk

E
  It gets slower after three or four cold beers

F#m7
  And gets louder when I'm cheering on the Volunteers

E
  Folks know I'm country, when they hear

F#m7
  The way I talk

[Chorus 1]

             E
It sounds a little bit like my daddy

It don't cuss around my mama

          B
Got some words you've never heard

'Less you come from down yonder

    C#m
The man upstairs gets it

So I ain't tryna fix it

A
  No, I can't hide it

I don't fight it, I just roll with it

E                                    B
Oh, kinda slow like the Mississippi rolls

                    C#m
It's the only way I know

                  A
Man, it ain't my fault

I just live the way I talk

[Instrumental]
 E                            F#m7

[Verse 2]

            E
Yeah it's, Yes sir, no ma'am, y'all come back, now

F#m7
  Fighting words if you run my last name down

E
  I ain't ashamed, matter of fact, I'm damn proud

F#m7
  Of the way I talk, y'all

[Chorus 2]

             E
It sounds a little bit like my daddy

It don't cuss around my mama

          B
Got some words you've never heard

'Less you come from down yonder

    C#m
The man upstairs gets it

So I ain't tryna fix it

A
  No, I can't hide it

I don't fight it, I just roll with it

E                                    B
Oh, kinda slow like the Mississippi rolls

                    C#m
It's the only way I know

                  A
Man, it ain't my fault

I just live the way I talk [Solo]

[Bridge]

E                                         B
Slow, like a Sunday morning service back home

                                     C#m7
And kinda sweet when I got a girl to love on

                     A
If you know me, you know

[Chorus 3]

            E
I sounds a little bit like my daddy

I don't cuss around my mama

          B
Got some words you've never heard

'Less you come from down yonder

    C#m
The man upstairs gets it

So I ain't tryna fix it

A
  No, I can't hide it

I don't fight it, I just roll with it

E                                    B
Oh, kinda slow like the Mississippi rolls

                    C#m
It's the only way I know

                  A
Man, it ain't my fault

I just live the way I talk
