I think that there are one acoustic and one electric guitar in this one. I'm going to show you the chords and some alternate 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:
(g# f#) E A E A E A E A
(SOLO GUITAR INTRO)
E A E A
lately I've felt a little crazy
E A E A
like I do when that moon's gettin' full
E A E A
is there a change in the air or the way that I care
E A E A
how can I explain how I feel
B4 A4
wish I knew me better
B4 C#4 D4
and I would if I half-triiiiiiied
E A E A
but my will is strong and it just carries me on
E A E A
following the way that I feel
E A E A
no my love ain't dead it just got to my head
E A E A
and I need a little space to feel free
E A E A E A E A
(GUITAR SOLO)
E A E A
lately, I've gone a lot of places
E A E A
and seen a lot of things I didn't need to see
E A E A
maybe I followed a star a little bit too far
E A E A
and lost something along the way
B4 A4 B4
or maybe I needed to lose
C#4 D4
something I shouldn't have haaaaaaaaad
E A E A
but it feels so good to take a second look
E A E A
following the way that I feel
E A E A
no my love ain't dead it just got to my head
E A E A
and I need a little space to feel free
B4 A4 B4 C#4
B4 A4 B4 C#4 D2 E2
E A E A E A E A
E A E A E A E A
(GUITAR SOLO)
E A E A
I feel loose and contented
E A E A
like to go where I want, when I can
E A E A
if I set too much, my thoughts begin to rush
E A E A
and nothin' is clear that I hear
B4 A4
I guess I'm a mover
B4 C#4 D4
just travelin' through my life to somewheeeeeeeere
E A E A
but it feels so good to take a second look
E A E A
following the way that I feel
E A E A
no my love ain't dead it just got to my head
E A E A
and I need a little space to feel free
E A E A
while following the way that I feel
E A
while I'm following,
E A E A
following the way that I feel
E A
while I'm following,
E A E A
following the way that I feel
E A E A E A E A
- repeat & fade -

TIPS:
MOST of the chord symbols represent two beats. If you see a symbol like B4 or C#4 - play that chord for 4 beats.
Intro
The '(g# f#)' that you see in the intro are single notes that are played by the bass. The two notes are: 6/4 and 6/2 (6th string 4th fret and 6th string, 2nd fret).
Most of the song
I have added alternate chords for the 'A E' parts - try 'em out, but watch those bass notes (in bold).
I hope you enjoyed playing this piece.
Remember, that by learning this song, you are helping to preserve the music of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils!
