For what it is worth, the guitars may use an alternate tuning.
I am assuming standard tuning.

            1 2 3 4 5 6
            -----------
E          0 2 2 1 0 0
F#/E       2 4 4 2 0 0 (use thumb on 1st string)
G/E        3 5 5 3 0 0 (use thumb on 1st string)
G#/E       4 6 6 4 0 0 (use thumb on 1st string)
A/E        5 7 7 6 0 0 (use thumb on 1st string)
D7         x 3 4 2 1 0

The F#/E might also be a minor 7th:
F#m7/E     2 4 2 2 0 0 (use thumb on 1st string)

First half of intro:

E       F#/E
So long Rayne, Louisiana
G/E       F#/E  E
Never see me no more

Repeat 3 more times

F#/E                G#/E
How many days can I ....
          A/E
 From the levee...
F#/E                          G#/E
Wake up in the morning in the ....
         A/E                 D7
Only the leavin' is left in gone

I like to solo using the following scale.
The notes in parentheses are usually hit by bending the string.
The scale can be played in other octaves as well.

|------------------------7-9-10--
|------8-(9)-10-(11)-------------
|-7-9----------------------------
