This is what I got off of watchin him play it. Its a very easy song, and it
sounds great if you make the strumming interesting. Look this song up on YouTube.
He plays it live on a Radio station in Texas and it sounds awesome. Enjoy. 

Intro: 
D G D A

Verse:
D                 G            D
I grew up, in a place called Payne Town.
                      A
In a house where my daddy lived.
D                   G                     D
A lot has changed, but a lots still the same now
                          A
The Union protects, and Jesus forgives

D                            G           D
The Government brought some jobs in to Payne Town
                     A
Built us up, on a foundation of lies
D                                    G         D
Now they're gonna flood, the whole Kennesaw valley
                                  A
And you'll have to leave, if you wanna survive

Chorus:
D                        G     D
Let the water wash this place away,
                       A
Everything we were, they're gonna drown
D                           G            D
All they're leavin' at the bottom of the lake
                     A
Is a, whole lot of Payne Town

Verse:

Got a job I hate, and a girl I love in Payne Town
And I cant seem to make, either one work
I keep breakin' my back, oh and breakin' her heart
I cant figure out, which ones worse

Chorus

Bridge:

Em                           G
They probably did us all a favor
D                           Asus    Asus7  A
When they opened up those flood gates
Em                      G
Nobody even tried to save her
D               A
This town was sinkin anyway

That's the story, of a place called Payne Town
Just a dot, that they wiped off the map
Buried between Hell and high water
They made sure, there a'int no goin' back

Chorus
