Beautiful song, but the guitar part is really easy.
Simply D, F#m, G, D repeated throughout the song.
D
Our nest egg may be rotten
F#m
And all our dreams forgotten
G
But I am not down-trodden
D
I'm a floatin'
D
And you might say I'm a driftin'
F#m
Just a sifter out siftin'
G
But the point is listenin'
D
On the way

D
And now my bow is a listin'
F#m
There’s no oil in my piston
G
And the shot I fire is missin'
D
The mark
[Bridge] same D, F#, G, D pattern
D
It's a lie
F#m
It's a lie
G
It's a lie that you gotta be the big man
D
The big man in this world
D
It's a lie
F#m
Oh it's a lie
G
It's a lie that you gotta be the big man
D
The big man in this world
D
And now our nest egg's rotten
F#m
But our love is not forgotten
G
And I am not a down-trodden
D
I'm a floatin'
