I think that there are two electric guitars, one on slide, in this one. I'm going to show you the chords and a tip or two - you can take it from there. Be sure to visit my tab page in order to understand how I write tablature on the web.

TIPS
Chord Symbols
The chord symbols do not pertain to any beats.
Guitar
When you play the Gm7 chords on beat one of each measure, quickly play the notes indicated below before playing the chord. The trick is to position your fingers in the Gm7 position then lift up the 2nd and 3rd fingers - strike the strings and then quickly put the 2nd and 3rd fingers in the proper position. If you're doing it right, it should sound somewhat like the Doobie Brothers' Long Train Runnin'.
Gm7
1 -|| -10--10-------
2 -|| -10--11-------
3 -|| -10--10-------
4 -|| -10--10-------
5 -|| -10--12-------
6 -|| ----------------
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!
