The other tabs were incorrect, so this is what I have found. I think it is

pretty accurate.

First of all, this is the bass line throughout the entire song.

Every "-" indicates an eighth note
G|--------|--------|
D|--------|--------|
A|5---5---|5---5235|
E|--5---5-|--5-----|

The bassline starts, the after a few measures, the guitar kicks in with
Dm
e|--1---1-|
B|--3---3-|
B|2-2---2-|
D|--0-0-0-|
A|--------|
E|--------|
this...

This is the pluck/strum pattern that is consistent throughout the entire

song, it is

easy, just pluck the third string, then strum the entire chord, then pluck

the fourth

then strum the entire chord. The lead instrument in the song is the banjo,

and I do not

banjo so I cannot give you that tab. But this is the guitar.
