I don't know the exact rhythm that Jody Davis is using here, but I just use down strokes

Verse 1: (Same as intro riff)
      B5       D5
Rewind the clock we were, ridin' a wave
    B5        D5
Of Oz rock we were, but barely of age
     B5           D5          A5
To take charge, or pack our guitars for the long flight
     G5
She be alright
      B5          D5
No cash or plan we were, criss-crossing the states
     B5       D5
In some van we were, c-c-cooking our beans
    B5            D5
On the block while the motor was hot
          A5           G5
Something's got to blow, let's get to the show

Pre-Chorus
A5
Give us half an inch
     B5
We will tack on a mile
D5
Give us a half stage
    E5
We'll start up a rampage

Chorus:
B5
Throw on your back pack
D5
Throw out your road map
B5
God'll use anything
D5        E5
Check it and see
   B5
He's given us more than we
D5
Ever could ask for
A5                   G5
That's the way we roll , 'cause we've been set free
A5                  G5
That's the way we roll, 'cause we've been set free

Verse 2: (Same as intro riff)
      B5         D5
Reset the stage we were, out rattling the cage
      B5        D5
With each show we were, out hawkin' them shirts
     B5
For more lights, 'till shine hit the brights
         A5           G5
And we saw your faces, and we got new bassists
       B5       D5
Good and the lame we were, spinning our drums
    B5       D5
Like a dial we were, blowing up domes
    B5           D5
From a pile, it worked for a while
         A5      G5
If yours didn't rise, we apologize

Pre-chorus 2:
A5            B5
All we got to give is a God-given drive
  D5         E5
He keeps us movin', He keeps on provin'

[Chorus]

The bridge is the only part that I am not sure on as far as chords go. If anyone has any
suggestions, please say so in the comments.

Bridge:
B5
Starting up
    D5             B5
We'll lighten up the load at the startin' gate
   D5            B5
We'l lighten up the load to a fightin' weight
    D5
We'll light up the road
         A5
C'mon, kiss your mamma goodbye
      G5
We got to fly

[Chorus] (Quietly (Single Strums) + Lead part)

[Chorus]

End:
A5                  G5      B5(hold)
That's the way we roll, 'cause we've been set free
