This is the main riff, which can be heard most of the times he is playing Em.
I know Am and B7 might not be 100% correct, but I'm not sure what chord he is playing
when I watch it live.
This should provide a decent outline of the song. Chord progression is repeated
the same throughout.

[Verse 1]
Em
Everyday nothing seems to change.
Em Am
Everywhere I go I keep seeing the same old thing & I..
Am Em
I can't take it no more.
B7 Am
Oh, I would leave this town but I ain't got no where else to go.
Wake up in the morning, oh, more bad news.
& I.. Sometimes I feel like I was borne to lose & I..
It's driving me out of my mind.
I'll catch the next train & I.. I'll move on down the line.
[Chorus]
Whoah I'll be ready now. I'll be ready when my train pulls in.
Whoah I'll be ready now. I'll be ready when my train pulls in.
I know my time ain't long around here.
& I can't live this life again.
[Verse 2]
Walking down the streets you might run across a smiling face.
But they'll stab you in the back as soon as you turn & walk away
& I.. Oh Lord it's bringing me down.
If things don't change around here, ain't no use in me hanging 'round.
[Chorus]
Whoah I'll be ready now. I'll be ready when my train pulls in.
Whoah I'll be ready now. I'll be ready when my train pulls in.
I know my time ain't long around here.
& I can't live this life again.
