Here is Keith Urban's version of Stupid Boy. I learned it by tinkering and
watching the video of him playing. There may be a few extra notes in the intro and
some chord variations of the major stuff I have tabbed out. This should get you going in
right direction though. Good luck.
Tuning: Standard w/ Capo on the 1st fret (Tab is written relative to capo)

If you believe Keith Urban is not capable of playing something like this
you should listen to Rollercoaster.
