This is the way I play the intro.

I don't know how to write the riffs that are added during the song.
Some are hammer on and pull offs on the 4th & 5th string while strumming
the D chord.
Verse
D Am7
The preacher man says its the end of time
G D
And the Mississippi River shes a goin dry
D Am7
The interest is up and the stock markets down
G D
And you only get mugged if you go down town
D Am7
I live back in the woods you see
G D
My woman and the kids and the dogs and me
D Am7
I got a shotgun a rifle and a four wheel drive
G Am7 D
And a country boy can survive
Am7 G D
Country folks can survive
D Am7
I can plow a field all day long
G D
I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
D Am7
We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
G D
Ain't too many things these ole boys can't do
Am7
We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
G Am7 D
And a country boy can survive
Am7 G D
Country folks can survive
Chorus
G F
Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run

D Am7
I had a good friend in New York City

He never called me by my name just HillBilly

My GrandPa taught me to live off the land

And his taught him to be a business man
Am7
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway Night
G D
And I'd send him some homemade wine

But he was killed by a man with a switch blade knife

For forty three dollars my friend lost his life

The intro is wrong but it's pretty close it's
3/5\3\1
5/7\5\3
5/7\5\3
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
The versus go D C(add9) G/D D
pretty close though good tab
I think that the Am7 should be played more like
e II------
B II-1----
G II------
D II-2----
A II-3----
E II------
somethin like that.. its just how i play it.. sounds better to me.. good tab!
First, Michael S. has an idea, but playing an Am7 like that makes it a C. C does not work if you're a finger picker, that bass note needs to be an A. This song is meant to be played in that coutry finger picking blues style with a little steel guitar backup. It's really a good tab.
hank doesnt fingerpick this song in any recorded version and the whole thing is played in drop-D tuning.....morons
