Sorry the chords aren't in the right place, but you can figure out where they change,
it's not difficult :)

Intro:
e -----------------------------------------------|
B -----------------------------------------------|
G -----------------------------------------------|
D -----------------------------------------------|
A -----------------------------------------------|
E --3m-3m--2m-2m--1m-1m--0m-0m-------------------|

This repeats through the intro and start of the verse, until:

Bb G#
Dude says, 'you Levi?'
Gm F#
I'm like 'Yes, that's me sir'
Bb C7
Well you just knocked up the VP nominee's daughter

repeat structure

Pre chorus:
Gm Bb Gm
I say 'mother in law? no
F
We ain't getting married'
Gm Bb Gm
They say 'soon you will boy
F
She just announced it
Gm Bb Gm
I get on my dirt bike
F
And ride to my girl's home
Gm Bb Gm
Gonna lay down the law
F
Tell her what's going on

Chorus:
Bb/F/Eb/Eb x2

Verse:

So we talk and it turns out we don't believe in abortion
And sex outside marriage is against our religion
And when I try to tell them I'm 18 years old,
They say "Levi it's too late, you've got to do as you're told"

(As before, riff bit followed by the chord bit above. You might want to unmute the riff
at this point and
add a couple of the same notes at a different octave or use Gm, F#5, F5 and E5,
to give it some variation, but you can't easily fit full chords to these bits.)

link to prechorus:
------------|
------------|
------------|
------------|
------------|
-0-0--0-----|

Prechorus: as before

Epic Keyboard solo:
Gm/F/Gm/F etc. Repeat throughout solo.

Final Chorus:
N.C. until:
Eb
Kill some moose.

Chorus continues and repeats several times with the same structure as before and varying lyrics.

Outro:
As intro and start of verses.
Ending chord:
Gm7
e -10-
B -11-
G -10-
D -12-
A -10-
E -X-
