Sounds best "unplugged". I heard a GREAT version which was without drums and bass. Only vocals, resonator slide guitar (try a National Duolian!) for solo fills and background accordion were playing.

Transcription by Dave Poch (I am not responsible for any of the following, use at your discretion!) I play it in a different key than the recorded version: (E as opposed to F?) There's four chords throughout: E - B - F#min - A (Open E, B at 7th, ect) (You can add open high E & B as drone notes). The original, if you like would be F, C, Gmin and B flat, just capo at the first fret and finger the chords as shown. Play a full barre on the F#min if easier.

Thank you Sam for getting me on the right track! the Gm7 thing was a gift from above...it just happened....and seemed right!?!? not sure why I can remember lyrics tonight while typing. I sure as hell can't when I'm singing it! I dont know how correct it is. The chords sound right though Ive only got the first verse lyrics, but they're pretty simple.
