The version I am tabbing out is based off of the Earl Scruggs and Lester Flatt version. Also Billy Connolly does a fantastic rendition. Highly recommended. pretty darn close. This song is fairly easy to play and is absolutely a blast. Enjoy! I also recommend muting some of the notes as well to get a bit more gritty bluegrass feel to it.
