The Guitar 2 rhythms shown above mimic the string parts;
in fact, I think that the guitar parts answer the string
figures, i.e., strings "call" on beats 1 & 2, guitars
"respond" on beats 3 & 4.
Chorus 3 (with the following repeat endings)
2nd ending — 2nd ending — 1st ending — 2nd ending
Intro B
Intro A (with a big ol' D major chord underneath)
The outro solo is based on a D Mixolydian (G major)
scale played entirely on the G—string. There are lots
of similar lead guitar parts throughout the song, but
they're more trouble than they're worth for me to tab.
=== The Simplified Version ===
This version uses all open chords. Of course, it will sound at a
different pitch than on the recording, but if you want to play
along, capo at 7th fret.

If the G/B and D/F# chords are too difficult, simply substitute
regular G and D chords.
Intro B — Rhythm:
||: G / Am / | G/B / C / :||
The Am and C chords are played on the second half of beat 2;
count "one and two"then play those chords.
