o The following should help you get started. It's what I transcribed
from the record a while back; no guarantees of accuracy, etc. In
particular, I think the signature acoustic guitar riff (marked
"intro" below, but really runs through the whole song) is played by
two guitars, one or both of them in an open tuning. I think the
notes I have are right, but the voicings aren't.
o Also, I didn't tab the electric guitar lead part. It's fairly easy
to figure out and play.
