This is my favorite song by one of my favorite bands. There are two
guitars in the song and two ways to play it:


Play a harmonica in the key of "C" and strum along with the chords
throwing in plenty of suspended chords:

There's a incredible live version of "Moonshiner" by the Tupes on
"Live From The Mountain Stage Vol. 7" on Blue Plate Records.
