"Ohio (Come Back to Texas)" by Bowling for Soup
TAB by Aaron Prescott
Good Song. I'm not quite sure about the acoustic guitar part in the bridge.
It's something like that. Just play E, B, F#, and G#m chords, and you'll get it.
I know that some of the movement in that part of the bridge is done by the bass.
