This is just the acoustic part. It's really simple. I saw a post by the band where they 
say this is actually in an open tuning, but it sounds right a half step down.

Tuning: E flat

Chords used:

    Em    F#m    G     D    Cadd9

Make sure you use a lot of dead notes and let the notes ring and buzz to get the same 
hobo feel the song has


Intro/Verse: (Well I've been tired...)

Em F# G

Chorus (I've been low...)
Em D Cadd9

Bridge? (Nights spent drinkin...)
Em D Cadd9 G


And thats about it.

Lyrics:

"we'll i've been tired
cause' i don't sleep so well on trains
well i got ups and downs
but days are all the same
i've been low
but it never gets me down

well i've been thrown out
i've been let down
i've been chased
well i've hardships
i've been stripped of pride and name
i've been low
but it never gets me down

and nights spent drinking
all the worry from my head
and days spent wandering
wishing i was dead
if i could only muster
the words out from my mouth
i would sing
oh i would sing
i'll take the next train out

cause i've been hopin'
i've been praying theres some god
so when i die
i'm found and saved
and i'm not lost
cause all he's done
all for me
is take away the ones i love

and nights spent drinking
all the worry from my head
and days spent wandering
wishing i was dead
if i could only muster
the words out from my mouth
i would sing
oh i would sing
i'll take the next train out

i'm gonna take it"
