I would love End of the weak by the swingin utters.
5 string banjo with standard open G tuning.
(I can't link as I'm a new poster)
You can find the guitar chords here - Swingin' Utters - End Of The Weak (Official) Chords - Chordify. The song is in the key of D, and you can likely find your way on the banjo. Much of the backup seems to be pinched chords.
You can help someone help you by telling us what style you play - Scruggs, clawhammer, two-finger?

I'm a complete beginner, I play with the one on thumb and 2 fingers. Whatever the popular one is. I think it might be scruggs but not sure.
Here's some basic tab that can be used for backup to singing this song. The tab is, at best, an approximation that leaves it up to the user to finish their own backup version. I used double-C tuning (gCGCD) with the capo at the 2nd fret to reach the key of D, matching the key used in the original. This may be a new tuning for you, but it only changes two strings(1st and 4th) from open-G tuning. The 5th string can be tuned up from G to A or down from G to F#.
There are 3 sections in the tab: Intro, Verse and Bridge. Give it a try. Post any questions or issues here.
