Verse 1 : 
 
   G                                      G 
I gave two teeth in a teenage brawl, to a girl whose name I can't recall 
D                       D 
    Then we broke up 
   G                                  G 
I gave a knee to the football team chasing that high school state champ dream 
D                      D 
    We almost won 
Bm            A                G        D/F# 
I gave junior college almost a year 
       Em                Bm                A4               A 
Then I gave a Greyhound twenty bucks, and that's how I got here 
 
 
        G  A    D           G        A     D 
I give all my money, for a slice of daily bread 
        G     A     Bm          G            A 
I give forty honest hours, to a boss I never met 
      G        A       D            G      A      Bm 
And I gave my soul to Jesus, at the age of twenty-two 
          G                  D/F#         Em   D/F#   A4    A 
So there ain't much left to offer, but I give   my   heart  to   you

Verse 2 : 
 
   G                                    G 
I gave a beard and a head of hair to a boot camp corporal with a barbers chair 
D                     D 
   At Camp LeJeune 
   G                                     G 
I gave Uncle sam what he bargained for, twenty-four months not a minute more 
D                            D 
    I just didn't fit in 
       Bm                  A               G    D/F# 
Then I gave a high school friend of mine a call 
       Em          Bm              A4               A 
And we gave a body shop a try 'til we gave up last fall

Comments : I really love this song, because it's simply simple and great :-) 
It also has great Lyrics in my opinion. 
It sounds best with a flatpicking on an acoustic guitar. Try to play a G6 
instead of the G in the line "So there ain't much ...". That sounds pretty 
cool. Also try to play a D9 instead of the D in some parts of the song, so 
it doesn't sound the same all the time. 
The Intro- and Outro Part : |D9- - -|D9 - D|  can be picked something 
like that : 
 
hide this tab                       Hammer 
                      /\ 
e |0-----------|0-----0-2---| 
b |3--3--------|3--3----3---| 
g |2-----2-----|2-------2---| 
D |0-----------|0-------0---| 
E |------------|------------| 
A |------------|------------|
