Tuning: E A D G B E

Anyone who attempts this one, I would really appreciate your feedback because I'm tabbing it quickly and I may well have made some mistakes. I CRDed the whole song because the chords change from verse to verse. There are of course other little twiddly bits than the 2 fills I've tabbed, but I'm sure you'll get the picture... I'm not even going to attempt to tab Ry Cooder's slide guitar for this- are there any tab conventions for slide?
