The following is the intro guitar riff played by a clean standard tuned
electric guitar with a capo on the second fret:
  +   +   +   +     +   +    +   +     +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +

|-3---3---3-------|------------------|---------------3-|-----3-----3-3---|
(If this feels a tad awkward, for the G and C chords use your middle finger
for the bass strings, your ring finger for the B string, and your first and
fourth fingers for the notes on the G string, and just finger the D chord
as you would do normally, using your pinky for the note on the fourth fret)
(This is also played between verses)

After this is played once, a distorted electric slide guitar using open-A
(low to high EAEAC#E - ie open-G up a tone) tuning comes in with the
following riff:
  +     +     +     +       +     +      +     +
|-------------------------|--------------------------|
|-------------------------|--------------------------|
|-12----14---/16\14p12-12-|----12-14p12-/16----14p12-|

|-14p12-/16----14p12----12-|--/4\2p0---------|
|--------------------14----|---------2p0---0-|
|--------------------------|---------------0-|
|--------------------------|-------------2-0-|

During the verse, the rhythm guitar plays the chords as shown above.

The slide guitar plays the following fill on the words "steal the show"

  +   +   +   +     +   +   +
|-----------------|-------------
|-----------------|-------------
|---0-2/4\2p0-----|---------12-- etc
|-------------2-0-|-------------
|---------------0-|-------------
|-----------------|-------------

For the rest of the verse, mess about at the 12th fret on the G chord, and the
5th fret for the C chord, until you reach the last line - this is played under
the words "king that took his land"

  +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +
|-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|
|/4---0---------0-|-----------------|
|---------7-----0-|-----------------|
|---------7-----0-|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|

Going into the chorus:
  +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +     +   +   +    +
|-----------------|------\5---------|-----------------|------------------|

  +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +

I tabbed most of the parts for the bridges between the verse, but I got fed up
after a while, and besides, it would take up too much space tabbing them all
out in ASCII. (Note that they all start off with the intro riff)
Here's the bridge between the second and third verses though, cause it's a bit
cool. Play the intro riff, replacing the last bar with
  +       +         +       +         +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +

Notation used:
 + = Beat marker
 h = Hammer on
 p = Pull off
 / = Slide up
 \ = Slide down
...................

I reckon that this song is a great place to get into slide playing, since it's
not particularly difficult, and lots of fun to play, so don't be scared off
retuning your guitar for it.
(Btw, if you're a John Hiatt fan, the same tuning is used for "Thank You Girl",
which I might post if I get around to it)
Comments, corrections, suggestions, requests always welcome.
Enjoy!
