Tuned slightly flat.
I tabbed my version which is just like the original with some riffs placed in it.
It's a great song to improvise on.

The entire song is just the E and A chord.
Verse 1
[E]
I once had a life, or rather
[A]
Life had me
[E]
I was one among many
[A]
Or at least I seemed to be
[E] [A]
Well, I read an old quotation in a book just yesterday
[E]
Said "Gonna reap just what you sow,
[A]
The debts you make you have to pay."
Can you get to that?
Chorus
[E]
Can you get (I wanna know)
[A]
I want to know if you can get to that (hey!) (get to that!)
[E]
Can you get (can you get to that)(I wanna know)
[A]
I want to know if you can get to that
Verse 2
[E]
I recollect with a-mixed emotions all the
[A]
good times we used to have
[E]
But you were making preparations for the coming separation and you
[A]
Blew everything we had
[E]
When you base your love on credit and your
[A]
loving days are done
[E]
Checks you signed with a-love and kisses, later come back
[A]
signed, "Insufficient funds" (Yeah, get to that)
Chorus
[E]
Can you get (I wanna know)
[A]
I want to know if you can get to that (hey!) (get to that!)
[E]
Can you get (can you get to that)(I wanna know)
[A]
I want to know if you can get to that
Verse 3
[E]
When you base your life on credit and your
[A]
loving days are done
[E] [A]
The checks you signed with love and kisses, later come back signed, "Insufficient funds"
Y'all get to that
Chorus
[E]
Can you get (I wanna know)
[A]
I want to know if you can get to that (hey!) (get to that!)
[E]
Can you get (can you get to that)(I wanna know)
[A]
I want to know if you can get to that
