I think that there are 2 electric and 2 acoustic guitars in this one. I'm going to show you just 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:
Watch out when you see the following - the first 4 chords change quickly.
G Am G F C
wo-oh to be saaaaaaved
Watch out when you see the following - the F chord that precedes this gets just a half beat (up-beat of beat four).
C Fmaj7
I'm in love and I'm never gonna come back down
I hope you enjoyed playing this piece.
Remember, that by learning this song, you are helping to preserve the music of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils!
Thanks for stopping by - steve
