This song is really easy because is so repetitive all you are doing for the whole song
is basically a blues shuffle pattern riff the whole time. The song starts on the band
jamming on the shuffle pattern blues in E until they start to play the song when the
main riff comes in. 

Main Riff (2:06)

The only other change in the song is when Burton sings the line "Truckin Off Across
The Sky" which goes 

|---------|
|---------|
|2-2-2-2-4|
|2-2-2-2-4|
|0-0-0-0-2|
|---------|

Play the A chord four times over the line until Burton says the word "Across" then
play the B chord, then play the main riff when he says "The Sky". During the last 4
lines (6:10) of the song play a E chord slowly building lowder when you hit the last
line then hold it. 

Finish the song on a E chord
