      Acoustic chords based on this Backseat Sessions performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96bOk33rWek

This is similar, but just a bit different from how it is played on the record, 
so I made a chord chart for that as well, which you can find on the RCR page on UG.
On the record, it's in the key of D, and the progression is a little different.

C - x32010
G - 320013
F - xx3213
Am - x02210

[Verse 1]

C
Oh country roads swerving 
F                     C
Singing along to the roustabouts
      Am       G           F
I'll never forget where I came from          
C                     G    
Misdirected youth passionately devout 
        Am          G
To the city I hold dearly
          F               G
But everyone talks shit about
        Am
And I hear talks about leaving 
       G
Me, I never wanted out
            C             G                F
I'd rather stay and make something out of this town
       Am                              G                       C  G  F
We'll write our names in gasoline and burn them into the world
                          Am  G      F
Never thinking about what we would become 

[Chorus]

         C     
We were young 
F               C
impressionable kids
        Am                      G                    F
Didn't know any better, didn't know any better than this
         C    
And our dreams 
F              C
They were our future
Am     G             F        Am      G                C   F  C  G 
And as far as I can see we'll be whatever we choose to be

[Interlude]
  
Am     F    C  F  C  G
whoa! whoa!

[Verse 2]

       Am
We'll shake our fists at the morning sun
          G                       C  G  F  C  G
Singing "glory glory hallelujah!"
      Am                              G     
And I would give anything to feel the way I did back then
        F
When I hear talks about leaving 
       G
But I never wanted out
            C        G              F
I'd rather stay and make something out of this town
       Am                              G                       C  G  F
We'll write our names in gasoline and burn them into the world
                          Am  G      F
Never thinking about what we would become 

[Chorus]

         C     
We were young 
F               C
impressionable kids
        Am                      G                    F
Didn't know any better, didn't know any better than this
         C    
And our dreams 
F              C
They were our future
Am     G             F        Am      G                F
And as far as I can see we'll be whatever we choose to be
      Am      G                 C   F  C  G
we'll be whatever we choose to be

[Interlude]

Am G F G

[Chorus]

         C     
We were young 
F               C
impressionable kids
        Am                      G                    F
Didn't know any better, didn't know any better than this
         C    
And our dreams 
F              C
They were our future
Am     G             F        Am      G                F
And as far as I can see we'll be whatever we choose to be
      Am      G                 C   F
we'll be whatever we choose to be
      Am      G                 C   F  C  G
we'll be whatever we choose to be

[Outro]

Am     F    C  F  C  G
whoa! whoa!
Am     G    C  F  C
whoa! whoa!
