Here's a nice approximation of what Jerry does for all the verses. David
does a nice echo for all the riffs. The indicated chords are what is strummed
between picking the riff.
        Dm          C           C           C              Dm

repeat a lot:
 
Walkin [Dm] boss
Walkin [C] boss
Walkin [C] boss
I [C] don't belong to [Dm] you.
 
I belong
I belong
I belong
to that steel drivin' crew
 
You work one day
Work one day
Work one day
then go lay around the shanty too.
 
Walkin boss....
 
I belong....
 
When I ask that boss
for a job
for a job
he said son, "What can you do?"
 
I can line a jack
Drive a track
Drive a track
I can pick and shovel too.
 
Walkin boss...
 
I belong...
 
instrumental stuff.....
 
Work one day...
 
Walkin boss.....
 
I belong....
