The guitar alternates between two main patterns (pattern 1 featuring slight variations here and there, pattern 2 pretty much stays the same throughout the song). The bass is played with the thumb and the chords are strummed.

VERSE 2 (Pattern 1 / Pattern 2) G And the crowd, they gathered one fine morn, Em At the man whose clothes 'n' shoes were torn.

G He jabbed him once with his bully club Em The old man then rolled off the curb. VERSE 4 (Pattern 2 / Pattern 2) G Well, he jabbed him again and loudly said, Em "Call the wagon; this man is dead."
