So those are the chord shapes to play this.  The real genius is how
Toy put these together.  If you just play those chords in the order they are presented
will be off to a great start.  lets put the chords over some of the lyrics and you will
able to put this together.  Its a short song with a very sweet feel.  If you wanted to 
and play a nice solo into it I would suggest using full verse as that song is layed
in tight verses.  From the intro, the first word of the song is sung on the A7 as shown above.

A7       E           C#7           F#9   B7        E     B7
I'm goin down to the river, got my cane poll in my hand

E      C#7                F#9                 B7
Got my red worms, in this maxwellhouse coffee can

          E                G#7               A                    D9
I'm gonna sit back under a shade tree by the river bank where its cool

E                           C#7           F#9  B7          E
I'm gonna close my eyes and dream and let cork bob away my blues.
