Based off Mitch Rossells cover of this song

Dropped D tuning

Remember with dropped D remember your G chord bass note is now on the 5th fret of 
your low E string, use your ring finger to play that 5th fret low E and your pinky 
to play 5th fret A string.  Then Your pointer finger covers 3rd fret on the B and Hi E strings.

The [Riff] I refer to at the end of the first verse lines and 3rd verse is at the end of the tab.

[Verse 1]
D                                    G              D   [Riff]

D                                    G              D   [Riff]

G                  A           Bm                      A             D
It aint hip to sing about tractors trucks and little towns
   D      D          F#       G
And momma yeah that might be true
D                         A             D

[Verse 2]
D                                    G              D   G

D                                    G              D   G

If you wish that someone had the nerve to tell that stupid 
A                 D
boss of yours to shove it 
      D      F#       G
Next time he yells at you

D                                    G              D   [Riff]
If your haunted by the echos of your mother on the phone
D                                    G              D   [Riff]
Crying as she tells you that your brother aint coming home
        G                        A                        Bm                   
And if theres anyone that still has pride in the memory of 
A                D
those that died defending 
     D       F#          G
