The last A chord is where the other instruments come in 
 
He carries on playing this riff while the slide guitar etc play 
other stuff 
 
 
Then after 8 or 16 bars the acoustic guitar comes in with : 
 
E---5-5-5---3-3-3--1-1----5-5-5---3-3-3--1-1----5-5-5---3-3-3--0-0-0-0----

Then a little lead in on the electric:

And the singing starts here! 
 
I don't know the words, but the chords start with: 
 
F C/E Dm C F C/E Dm C 
 
(repeat once) 
 
then: 
 
G F/G    C G   C G      C   G 
 
G F/G    C G   C  G/B    A 
 
The words over the last C G/B  A are "Life's been good to me so 
far" 
 
Then it goes back to F C/E Dm etc 
 
 
Shapes:

 F/G          G/B     C/E 
 
I think you know the others.... 
 
 
Hope this gets you started- the rest of the song is mostly repeats 
and variations on these bits i.e the intro riff, acoustic chords 
and the main body of the song (the bit above with the chords) 
 
Hope y'all enjoy!
