The tutorial is meant to give you an approach for the feel, and a few particulars about how to walk the progression from chord to chord, as well as how to execute one of the quick lick/riffs Sturgill does. You can hear how the lick fits in at 1:36-1:38 and 1:54-1:57 in Sturgill's recorded version of the track. Below are the chords as they fit with the lyrics.

FYI, the lyrics below may or may not be the accurate words, I just copy and pasted the first version of lyrics I found on google. The purpose here is to give you a frame of reference of how the chord progression moves in relation to the rhythm/delivery of lyrics, and not necessarily what the correct lyrics for The Dead Don't Die are.
