Here's the guitar tab for the intro and the rest of the song:
(Play 3 times)

--------------3-2-0-----|---------3---2---|-
-----0-1-2----------1---|-------------3---|-
---3---------------(tr)-|-3-3-3-----------|-
The slide guitar is using these fingerings:
G F C
-------------------
-0-------10---5----
-0-------10---5----
-0-------10---5----
-------------------
-------------------
The '(tr)' under the 1 in the tab means to really, really put some vibrato (almost like a trill) into each - just wiggle your finger or wrist vigorously on that note.
Most of the time when you see the 'G F C' chords - play the G for 6 beats - the F and C one beat each.
When you see the 'G F G F' chords - play the G for 6 1/2 beats and the F for 1 1/2 beats.
I hope you enjoyed playing this tune.
Remember, that by learning this song, you are helping to preserve the music of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils!
