Half-time drum intro: Guitar 1, 12 sring electric:

Keep on repeating that riff a bunch of times until the slide part enters:
—6/8—8—8—8—8—8/10—10—10—10————0—5—3——0—
—6/8—8—8—8—8—8/10—10—10—10————3—5—3——3—
—6/8—8—8—8—8—8/10—10—10—10—5—3—5—0—5—3—5—0—
—6/8—8—8—8—8—8/10—10—10—10—5—3—5—0—5—3—5—0—

After the «It`s got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
oh well oh well oh well» line, and the slide that is shown above comes
this:
12 string
——12—12—7—7—7—5—5—5—7—10—12—
——12—12—7—7—7—5—5—5—7—10—12—
—7—12—12—0—7—7—0—5—5—7—0—0—
—7—12—12—0—7—7—0—5—5—7—0—0—
——————————————
——————————————
After that another slide guitar enters (six string with regular tuning
[EADGBe], with a bit of fuzz or distortion):
—1210——12~—75—-7~———5—7—10—12~~~~
———12————8——87/5——————

The first opening riff is played pretty much throughout the entire song,
besides the other parts that I put here, so have fun with it.
Note: This song really only sounds the best if played in a band because
of the big time drums and hermonica, not to mention the multiple guitar
parts. Any questions, e-mail me at [email protected].
