I found this song on youtube, he claims its his favorite song he has ever written.  And I would 
have to agree that it is one of him best. The (Ap) chord is mostly used if you are going to figure 
pick the song.  You can just use a regular A7 chord if you want though.
I think this is pretty close to how he plays it, he hammers on and off almost every chord he plays, 
but he finger pics the entire song.  I think it sounds great strumming as well!  If you wanna find 
it on you tube here is the link :

Ya thats a great video... its hard to tell, but i think he says Steal. I guess we'll know when his next CD comes out. Im too worried about it right now!
-gorillas68 | 3/1/2010
Its "still" not stiff or steal
-Tbuddy | 4/22/2011
The line is "you'd think with all that's taken, man, I wouldn't wanna still" - he's talking about how everything's been taken from him, but he still wants to drink
-s_coute | 9/26/2012
the last verse word isnt supposed to be seal or stiff the word is supposed to be still .... you would think with all thats taking man i wouldnt want it still.... it has to rhyme with will
