As this is quite a long song, I'll start the ball rolling with the
intro riff
Usual symbols :
b = bend up
r = release bend
/ = slide up
E|---------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------2----------------2---2-2-------|
D|--------------------2--------2-----------2-2-------|
A|--2b3-3r2-0--2/4------0-2/4-----4--------0-0-------|
E|---------------------------------------------------|

The last A chord is where the other instruments come in
He carries on playing this riff while the slide guitar etc play
other stuff
Then after 8 or 16 bars the acoustic guitar comes in with :
E|---5-5-5---3-3-3--1-1----5-5-5---3-3-3--1-1----5-5-5---3-3-3--0-0-0-0------|
B|---6-6-6---5-5-5--1-1----6-6-6---5-5-5--1-1----5-5-5---3-3-3--1-1-0-0h1----|
G|---5-5-5---5-5-5--2-2----5-5-5---5-5-5--2-2----5-5-5---4-4-4--2-2-0-0h2----|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then a little lead in on the electric:
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------|
D|------0-2-3------------------------------------------------|
A|---3-------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
And the singing starts here!
I don't know the words, but the chords start with:
F C/E Dm C F C/E Dm C
(repeat once)
then:
G FaddG C G C G C G
G FaddG C G C G/B A
The words over the last C G/B A are "Life's been good to me so
far"
Then it goes back to F C/E Dm etc
Shapes:
EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE
xx3213 x20003 xx2010
FaddG G/B C/E
I think you know the others....
