I think JR uses Cadd9 in some places, but this is pretty close.

VERSE 1
G
My daddy taught me that in this country everyone’s the same
You work hard for your dollar and you never pass the blame
C
When it don’t go your way
G
Now I see all these big shots cryin’ on my evening news
About how they’re losin’ billions and how it’s up to me and you
C
To come running to the rescue
D C
D
Well pardon me if I don’t shed a tear ‘cause they’re selling make believe
C
And we don’t buy that here
Chorus
G C G
Cause in the real world they're shutting Detroit down
G D C G
While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets out of town
G D C G
And DC’s bailing out the bankers as the farmers auction ground
G D C G
Yeah while they’re living it up on Wall Street in that New York City town
G C Em
Here in the real world there’re shuttin’ Detroit down.
G C G
They’re shuttin’ Detroit down.”
VERSE 2
Well that old man’s been workin’ in that plant most all of his life
Now his pension plan’s been cut in half and he can’t afford to die
And it’s a crying shame ‘cause he ain’t the one to blame
When I look down and see his caloused hands
Let me tell you friend it gets me fightin’ mad
Chorus
Instrumental solo
Yeah while there’ living it up on Wall Street in that New York City town
Here in the real world there shuttin’ Detroit down
Here in the real world there shuttin’ Detroit down
In the real world they’re shuttin Detroit down
They’re shuttin’ Detroit down.
