I think that there are two acoustic guitars and 4 crickets playing in this song. I'm going to show you the chords - you can take it from there. Be sure to visit my tab page in order to understand how I write tablature on the web.

By the way, I interpreted these chords from listening to the LP - I did not use any other written music as an aid in writing the tab presented on this page. If you think that I have made a mistake, please let me know about it by dropping me a quick note.

TIPS:

Each chord symbol receives 4 beats (except for the D and Dmaj7 chords when 'bet-ter, Lord' is sung) - strum once on every beat.
