This is my first tab so bear with me. The part of the song I am tabbing here starts at
"Oh no well I've been there before
And I ain't gonna come around here no more"
right after the first verse. I'm not doing the whole song because the site
has the rest of the song tabbed out correctly, except for this second verse. (By the way this site is
excellent place to find Dead tabs)
This tab isn't exact, but it is something you can work with to get the way you want it.

(1st verse) |
Sleepy Alligator in the noon day sun | see rukind.com
Lyin by the river just like he usually done |
Call for his whiskey he can call for his tea |
Call all he want to but he can't call me __|
Oh no well I've been there before
