Hi there
okay i know there are a lot of tabs for this song, but this one is seriously
way better, probably for grade 6-8 guitarists though because it is pretty complicated. I have played this through over and over with the music and I'm 
101% sure its right.

OK here goes: 

>=slide
<=slide with plectrum
x=palm mute
v=plectrum mute
*=fingerpick
^=hammer on
¬=pull off

That should get you through most of the song. I will send in another tab with the chorus in, cos i haven't quite got it yet- Billy Joe spins his pick around,
an i'm not sure if affects the sound.
