CHORDS:
play the rests by muting 
the strings directly at the
end of the note preceding the rest.  you might want to 
cut the preceding note a little bit short)  
(these probably don't have to be played exactly correct, or as they're written, so as 
long as you follow the changes it'll probably be fine)

   We’ve all seen the man at the liquor store beggin’ for your change
                Fmaj7               C                  Dm
The hair on his face is dirty dreadlocked and full of mange

Throughout each verse and chorus the Dm at the end of each line (between lyrics) can be
played either of these ways (not sure which is right, but I like the second one better)-

                 Dm                           Dm
e|--0-1----3p1--0-1-----|    e|--0-1---1h3p1p0---1-|
