The intro to this song is amazing so I figured I'd give it a go!
Each chord gets 4 beats and this can be played throughout the verses...

C G Em D
[Verse 1]
C G
It was the summer before the real world started and,
Em D
The deal was we would get to go, if we
C G
Cleaned it up, and got it running,
Em D
Daddy's old Winnebago.
*** Here is use a pick holder called the Pik-Tik to transition to strumming! Works great!
C G
Wing and a prayer down 65,
Em D
Five best friends on four bald tires,
C G
I can still see Billy smiling
D
When we finally made it.
[Chorus]
C G
To Talladega, boys raised up,
Em D
Whiskey in your glass,
C G
here's to turning up, slowing down
Em D
and cars that go real fast,
C G
We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing,
Em D C
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving,
D
Sure would like to stay in,
C G Em D
Talladega.
[Verse 2]
C G
Like a storm, time rolls on,
Em D
You can't hit pause as we just did.
C G
Most days in life don't stand out,
Em D
But life's about those days that will, like,
C G
Rocking rando, getting rowdy,
Em D C
Shooting roman candles at the man in the moon,
G D
til the Alabama sun was breaking.
[Bridge]
C
When the winds go cold and it blows October,
C
I think about us shoulder to shoulder,
C
Like those cars my thoughts roll over and over and over,
D
In my mind
