As this is quite a long song, I'll start the ball rolling with the

intro riff





Usual symbols :



b = bend up

r = release bend

/ = slide up

The last A chord is where the other instruments come in



He carries on playing this riff while the slide guitar etc play

other stuff





Then after 8 or 16 bars the acoustic guitar comes in with :



E---5-5-5---3-3-3--1-1----5-5-5---3-3-3--1-1----5-5-5---3-3-3--0-0-0-0----

B---6-6-6---5-5-5--1-1----6-6-6---5-5-5--1-1----5-5-5---3-3-3--1-1-0-0h1--

Then a little lead in on the electric:



E--

B--

G--

D------0-2-3---

A---3----------

E--





And the singing starts here!



I don't know the words, but the chords start with:



F C/E Dm C F C/E Dm C



(repeat once)



then:



G FaddG C G   C G      C   G



G FaddG C G   C  G/B    A



The words over the last C G/B  A are "Life's been good to me so

far"



Then it goes back to F C/E Dm etc





Shapes:



EADGBE     EADGBE   EADGBE

xx3213     x20003   xx2010



 FaddG       G/B     C/E



I think you know the others....





Hope this gets you started- the rest of the song is mostly repeats

and variations on these bits i.e the intro riff, acoustic chords

and the main body of the song (the bit above with the chords)



Hope y'all enjoy!
