Capo: 3 Tuning: D A D G B E
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uZPPccXNAg This is in Drop D and way out of my ability to tab but I've tried to put in the gist of it and you can play around and try to figure what he's doing or what works best for you. Also note that he's playing with his guitar tuned way down so I have it capo'd so that you can play along with your guitar tuned normally. Darrell is an incredible guitarist and so just used this to find how it works for you. I've added the bare bones of the intro below. This is also the riff that's played after every chorus. Also he does some fun pedal tone like stuff headed into the chorus. Here is the tab for one of those sections [headed into the 3rd chorus, bobtail cat and such].

He doesn't actually play these chords but without a band I think adding them in can give some good depth to the song. Play around with it.
