The only way to learn this on acoustic is by ear. I also want to play this, but i gave up searching for tabs because it took me too long.

I love playing this song, but I'm not sure if i play it the same way as ville. I learned the chords for the Daniel Lioneye version and just played them on an acoustic. give it a try tho, fairly easy

here are the three main chords you need.

E minor       C7-ish??      B7-ish???
e|   0               0                0
b|   0               0                0
g|   0               3                2
d|   2               2                1
a|   2               3                2
e|   0               0                0

Verse:
strum these around and figure it out, but the basic structure if ur doing a 4/4 timing is:
Em-Em-C7-B7

Strum the Em's kinda slow and stylish, then arpeggio the C7 and B7 a little bit as you strum them.

going into the chorus, you do C7 and then B7 very slowly

The chorus:
"mama, mama I aint coming home"         i just use power chords, which i bet is what ville is doing.
     E             G             A              A
                            or
     E             E             G              A
      (whichever sounds better to you)

 i'm not gonna tab this cause I'm sure you know em

"it's a.... lonely..... lonely roady"
             C7               B7


that's essentially it. feel free to ask if you have any questions, but I think i covered it pretty well

Here is a very sloppy version i just put together on my brothers guitar. my laptop didnt pick up the sound well AT ALL, but i swear it will sound fine in person. hope you can learn it in time for your deadline!!

I think there's a "that's what she said" joke there somewhere.
