None of them
Decided to tab this out since the other tab, while good, is missing some detail. This is (mostly) how John Butler plays it. The tab generally reflects the Tin Shed Tales version(where you can see his hands). Drop D. Capo on 3rd fret (that way he can do all those nice bass notes). Key of F major Intro and Verse: During the intro & verse he is simply playing (relative to the capo) D, Bm and a funny G, like so: D Bm G 2 2 0 3 3 3 2 4 0 0 4 4 0 2 5 0 x 5 It's worth listening for the strum pattern, as JB tends to like his fast but understated strumming. He does a different intro on every version, so pick the one you like. Usually he just plays the D chord over and over. For the verse, he's playing it like this: D D Well I'll tell you a story Bm G About a girl named Kimberley D D Who all the cowboys wanted Bm G Cos she was wild and free. CHORUS: He switches it up a bit in the chorus, and the G chord becomes the one held for 2 bars. Like so: D I am what I am Bm And I am strong G Cos I got my land G And I got my song HARMONICA BITS: During these he is just playing either the verse or chorus chord progression. Listen to each part if you want to play a harmonica as well. Or just play whatever. BRIDGE: This bit is where a tab is useful, and where the other tab available kind of misses out. Here's what he's doing. Where......do I Stand.....

That's about it I think!
