If you're struggling with the speed, I recommend learning this pattern before attempting the entire song:
G|--------|--------|--------|0---0---| D|--------|3---3---|--------|--0---0-| A|3---3---|--3---3-|3---3---|--------| E|--3---3-|--------|--3---3-|--------|
Note that the bridge is slightly different from Woodie Guthrie's actual song
Do-Re-Mi, but playing it that way still works if you prefer.
