I think that there are at least two acoustic guitars, one banjo, & one mandolin in this song. I'm going to show you the two acoustic guitar intro parts and the chords. The guitar parts should be played on acoustic guitar - no electrics. Be sure to visit my tab page in order to understand how I write tablature on the web. See below for newly added harp tab.

as that evening rain comes down
 
                                   D

       C                     G 
and my head gets lost in the sound

when that evening rain comes down
 
C     G
fly a-way
