Play this three times.  It's the chorus.
Then play this part right here, its where he says "An' I ain't got no worries,
'cause I ain't in no hurry at all.

And now, the solo that took forever to tab.  It's played on a fiddle, but
this is the guitar tab.  Enjoy!

(Please note that Figure 1 is being played throughout the solo.)

Now this is the outro, both guitars play this.
Guitar 1 plays Figure 1 three times, while Guitar two plays this:

                                           0              
  
                                                          
  
                                                          

Guitar two then plays this while fading out, Guitar one plays Figure 1

  
                                   13b 13b 13 10~~        
  
  8 6/7                                            12     
  
        7           7~~   8 6/7                           
  
          9 7~~~7h9             7                         
  
                                                          
  
                                                          

Then both guitars play Figure 1 for the rest of the song, which isn't much.
