Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 (pause)
 Verse 1 part 1
Down  in the holler  there’s a thriving town  a treasure trove  that makes the
world  go round
 when the city barrens bring  their legal papers  and guns  oh darling don’t  be
afraid  to run
 (no break between these two verse parts)
 Verse 1 part
when  we came to settle  here we came  to stay  maybe raise a family,earn
 decent wage
 now ever public servant  reeks of suspi-cion,  so darlin don’t  be afraid  to
run
darlin don’t  be afraid  to run  and don’t  turn your back  on the noon  day sun
 some day  redemption  will wash  everyone  but there’s no  telling when  that day
 will come
 so darlin don’t  be afraid......
  (solo starts after x2)
   *  (play  *  x4 including the last  of the chorus)
 ..to run
 (long pause)
 maybe we'll rendezvous out in no-wheres-ville or maybe we'll find each other running still
 until we reach that auspicious liaison oh darlin don’t be afraid to run
 darlin don’t be afraid to run and don’t turn your back on the noon day sun
 the people will meet you with derision, you'll never be their model citizen
 so darlin don’t be afraid.......to run
 Play Em G C *D x9 (i think) with solo and end on Em
 Hope this isnt too confusing, if it is google this song and listen to it.
