I play this one acoustic, and it's dead on.
The verses sound really good as open chords
fast-ish strumming - get the rhythm yourself

Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube
G F
E5/F5
And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose
G F C
They headed down to, ooh, old el paso

Thats where they ran into a great big hassle
G F C
Billy joe shot a man while robbing his castle

Chorus - Sounds good as powerchords, although you can play open chords over the lyrics
it'll still sound pretty good.
