Though this isn't perfect, I think you can use
this as a decent reference. Have fun with it and enjoy.

This song is played with either a mandolin or mandola as the primary instrument, 
but it can be played very effectively on the guitar as well.

Note: Though I don't have the notes in place... there's a short progression 
between verses. You should be able to figure it out without too much heartache.

continues to play)
