h - Hammer-On
(/) - Legato Slide (Blank space indicates length of slide)
\ - Slide Down to/Down From (Blank space indicates length of slide)
/ - Slide Up To/Up From (Blank space indicates length of slide)

-----------
Song Notes:
-----------
No two repeats are the same for guitar 1, so to make the tab less confusing
I've included the song time and lyrics. All notes for Guitar 1 are 16th notes.
Transcribing the banjos for guitar is virtually impossible without using some
insane tunings and a partial capo, so I've included the banjo parts "as is"
for those who play the instrument and for the sake of completeness.
