The following two chords are played in a very fast strumming
pattern. Do not play all six strings all the time, but damp
them with you right hand. Every other bar a little riff is
played.

     E A
E |-0-0|--0----0-----0-|-0-0-|--0----0-----0-|-(0-0-0-0)-|-0-0-|
B |-0-2|----0h2--0h2---|-0-2-|----0h2--0h2---|-(2-2-3-4)-|-0-2-|

E |-0-X|-0-------------|-0-X-|-0-------------|-----------|-0-X-|

|--(1)--| means not necessarily played

Now the singing starts, with the following basic pattern
accompanying the singing. The strumming rhythm `follows` the
voice, and I show only the `chords` played.

The poor boy took his father`s bread and started down the road
E |--3---0------------3---0---------------3-----------------0--|
B |--2---0------------2---0---------------2-----------------0--|
G#|-(0)-(0)----------(0)-(0)-------------(0)---------------(0)-|
E |------------------------------------------------------------|
B |------------------------------------------------------------|
E |------------------------------------------------------------|

 Started down the road Took all he had and started down the road
E |--7---------------0-----|--0--0--|
B |--9---------------0-----|--0--2--|
G#|--8---------------0-----|--0--1--|
E |------------------------|--0--0--|
B |------------------------|--0--2--|
E |------------------------|--0--X--|
                     <-the same strumming pattern as above->

                Goin` out in this world where God only knows
E |---0----0------0-|-0--0--|
B |-----0h2---0h2---|-0--2--|

                  <-the same strumming pattern as above->
