After searching for this tab myself before, I found that 1 person had it down
pretty well, but the only flaw was that he failed to mention that whenever he
plays the G, and A7 chords, he does a shuffle. So, you have to play barre chords.
When he plays the G, you switch your fingers down a string to a C barre chord in a
shuffle rhythm, and when he plays the A7, you switch your fingers down to a D
barre chord in a shuffle rhythm. So it will be G G C C G G C C, etc.
