I would recommend picking the intro/verse progression like this instead
of strumming the chords.
(C) (F) (G)
E-----------0-----1-----3--------------------------
B-----1-----1-----1-----0--------------------------
G-----0-----0-----2-----0--------------------------
D-----2---2-----3----------------------------------
A---3----------------------------------------------
E---------------------3----------------------------

Billy's at the bar....he's been there all night

First ten beers he's had....since her goodbye
(repeat intro chords)

She left him broke.... in his new truck
C F-G C F-G
He don't smoke... but he lights one up

Temporary fix... for his heartache
C F-G C
He's hurtin' bad.... but he's feelin' great
Chorus:

Singin' off pitch but he knows every word

Grabs him a girl and he holds on tight
