I think that there is just one electric guitar in this piano-based song. I'm going to show you the chords - you can take it from there. Be sure to visit my tab page in order to understand how I write tablature on the web.

THE CHORDS:
A#7-5 (no chord)
(PIANO INTRO)
D#m E/F#
ooh, darlin'
Emaj9 Dmaj7 E/F#
since I've met you, my life's a waste
D#m E/F#
oooh, darlin'
Emaj9
you're about all that I can take
Dmaj7 E/F#
the first time I saw you, I knew that I wanted you
G Dm7 Cmaj7 Dm7 G
you just came along and I picked you out
Dm7 Cmaj7
and from that day, I've never been a doubt
F7
I've been knocked-out
G Am7
I'm so hung up, thunderstruck,
A#7-5 (no chord)
you're just too much
D#m E/F#
oooh, darlin'
Emaj9 Dmaj7 E/F#
the nights are endless when you're not there
D#m E/F#
oooh, darlin'
Emaj9
sometimes I wish that I didn't care
Dmaj7 E/F# G
and I was still free to be loose like I used to be
Dm7 Cmaj7 Dm7 G
but then you come along and hold me close
Dm7 Cmaj7
and tell me that I fill your every hope
F7
I overdose
G
I can't hold on,
Am7
I go head-long,
A#7-5 (no chord)
'till I'm too far gone
D#m E/F#
Emaj9 Dmaj7 E/F#
D#m E/F#
Emaj9 Dmaj7 E/F# G
(GUITAR SOLO)
Dm7 Cmaj7 Dm7 G
I guess that you're the best I've ever had
Dm7 Cmaj7
it seems I never get e-nough to last
F7
so a-gain, I ask
G
I'm so hung up,
Am7
thunderstruck,
A#7-5 (no chord)
you're just too much
D#m E/F# Emaj9 E/F#
oooh, darlin'
D#m E/F# Emaj9 E/F#
ohhh, darlin' ...
D#m E/F# Emaj9 E/F#

ohhh, darlin' ...

TIPS
Most of the Song
The chords are hard to play and they seem to be all over the neck... but that's what the sheet music says! Try my alternate chords for the chords to play right after the D#m chord - might make life easier.
When you see the '(no chord)', you can play these notes:
--------------------------------1
--------------------------------2
--------------------------------3
--------------------------------4
---------------6----------------5
-------6--9-----9-6-----------6 (bottom fat string)
I hope you enjoyed playing this one.
Remember, that by learning this song, you are helping to preserve the music of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils!
Thanks for stopping by - steve
