I haven't seen a good tab on this song yet so I wrote this up. It's all legit.
Somehow, in a few places* the same note will be played, but one will sound more "twangy"
than the other. I really don't know how this is done. (Maybe there is more than one
guitar, but I doubt it).
Intro:

*Like here ^ *And here ^
Now play a simple E major chord, periodically putting your pinky on the A string,
4th fret, and lifting your ring finger (This is a great way to build up your pinky):
e---| |--------------|
b---| |--------------|
g---| |--------------|
d---| |----0-----2-2-| 8x (Until singing, better to strum while you sing :)

Repeat the E, G, A over all the rest of the lyrics:
I saw her headin' to the table
Well a tall walking big black cat
When charlie said I hope that you're able boy
Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at
Well suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
A jumping out of doors and tables
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun
Well the da was pumping my left hand
And then she was a-holding my right
Well I told her don't get scared
'cos you're gonna be spared
Well I've gotta be forgiven
If I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9 beautiful tall
Well, with just one look I was a bad mess
'cos that long cool woman had it all
Had it all
