Terence Ryan - To Live And Die In New England

      Most of his strumming he is muting the low strings 
and letting the high strings ring 

The chords that Said are what I heard and the song still
sounds great with only open chords.

[Intro]
(In the intro and through the song he hammers on to the 4 fret of the D string 
with his pinky while playing a D chord and then he just strums it. But if you
want to just start your pinky on the fourth fret it still sounds fine.)

[Verse 1]
D                     A          Bm
Come back home to the hearth you wallowed
D                       A        Bm
All that time, out your own damn body
D                     A         Bm
Soul worn down to the pavement, bloody
D                      A         Bm
The corner store still takes our rubbish

[Pre-Chorus]
He goes G then D then A but in the song his G is like a C shape
Barred on the 7th fret and he's barring the D chord. And since 
Its a big jump from an open A to the 7th fret G, its ok to play 
an A barre chord but the open A still sounds alright. 
    G        D      A

G                             D               A
To the bay state, where we'll lay down in the ground
       G                      D         A
To the lady, with a pin stuck in her frown
       G                      D        A
To the warehouse, allowed for me to dream
       D               A
To the vibrant college scene
       D              A
To the addicts coming clean
       D              A
To the place apart of me

[Chorus]
        G     D    A
Oh, New England
         G      D
Our, New England
            A          G      D   A
To live and die in New England
        G
Oh, New England
  A/D
An autumn paradise

[Verse 2]
D                     A        Bm
Come back home to the ones who raised you
D                    A          Bm
All that time in the cold, dark basement
D                   A                 Bm
All grown up in the face, black and blue
D                      A               Bm
The old red line still takes where you want to

[Pre-Chorus 2]
G                             D               A
To the bay state, where we'll lay down in the ground
G                D             A
To the lady, who grew up by herself
       G            D                A
To the shipyard, oh dad had used his hands
       D               A
To the Sunday football stands
       D                A
To the sea wall where I planned
       D                   A
To the place I've grown, a man

[Chorus]
        G     D    A
Oh, New England
         G      D
My, New England
            A          G      D   A
To live and die in New England
        G
Oh, New England
  A/D
An autumn paradise
