You NEED to listen to this song to pick up all of the rhythms. It's impossible to show exactly where to play
every note because this song, in particular, had a LOT of 'ad libing' and variations.

REMEMBER it's in Drop D key!
p = pull off
/ = slide

VERSE 1:
Every day I see you looking in
I'll be the smoothest thing to touch your skin
You're longing to be loved but you're alone
And your longing makes you shiver to the bone

While your woman has a fellow on the side
Your kids keep telling jokes that ain't that funny
And you failed in everything that comes to mind

VERSE 5:
Now your woman has her fellow in your bed
You have to go you have to move right in
N' the ring on your finger would leave another scar

VERSE 6:
So you shot him up close and you shot him in the face
N' your woman looked on and your children they embraced
N' the candle's still burning and the fire's roaring fire
You moved right in, yeah you moved right in

Hey look me in the barrel and tell me that you love me
Yes this is a kiss that I swear will blow your mind

OUTRO:
I suggest doing some ad lib that would be typical for the instrumental parts. This outro seemed like it was
entirely just ad libbing and randomness. It does ends with this:
