It's a pretty simple, classic bluegrass sound and tempo repeated throughout the entire song: 

       G 
       Em, G 
       Em, G 
       D, G 

Each line has 8 beats, so it should be played like this: 

       G  G  G  G  G  G  G  G 
       Em Em Em Em G  G  G  G  
       Em Em Em Em G  G  G  G 
       D  D  D  D  G  G  G  G 




*I don't know all of the lyrics, but below is a sample of the third verse with the chords listed  
right above the word at which they should be played. 


       G 
I'm at Harvard Square Station just north of Boston-Town; 

Em                               G 
   I'm pickin' my banjo and them Yankees gather 'round. 

Em                      G 
   They wanna hear that high, lonesome sound. 

D                              G 
Take me back to from where I'm bound. 




Enjoy!
