This tune is pretty easy. The only difficult part is getting the intro down, but it's quick to learn.
I Think the song is awesome, definetley one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. By the way
this is my first tab so bear with me. Theres probably a few mistakes, I just tabbed it out today.
It starts out with the hi-hat cymbal for 4 measures
Then into the guitar intro (1 of 2 guitars) 8 measures (really fast)

if we holler loud and make our way
F G A
we'd all live one big holiday
G F E
so we listened and up the river

G F E
was some shakin and some record playin

Then a guitar solo over F-G-A for a couple measures, just remember bend and release
like crazy—think blues rock.
Then the intro for a few more measures then the intro moves up the neck
and gets a little funky with a bit of soloing added w/ it. I'm not totally sure of the right way
Finally the intro on 2 guitars plus bass & hi-hat for 12 measures then it slows
down to finish for 14 seconds to a
