Tuning: E Standard (EADGBe)                                               G|-5----7-8|
                                                                          D|-5----7--|
Knowing your Blues Scale would be a HUGE help if you are having trouble.  A|-5-6--7--|
Just because i like you guys - Same key as the song -                     E|-5------8|
Now if you can't read scales I can't help you there.

I've seen a few versions that have the majority correct. But there are some key parts missing. There is a lot of harmonica going on, so if you feel like you are off a little listen close and tune your guitar to be sure.
