I just discovered these guys yesterday, and I am listening to this song for
the first time right now. I'm gonna tab it for you. I think these guys are
pretty damn good and I like this style of rocking alt-country they are
making. Here we go
Standard Tuning - This song is just the same 3 chords with a catchy riff

F# A B
Maybe down by the old oak tree
F# A B
They'll cut my hair when they bury me
F# A B
Pack me up and set me out to sea
Then return back to main riff and repeat verses and riff and Chorus as
necessary.
The guitar/harmonica solo/break thing just repeats the F#, A, B progression
with some basic and simple stuff going on over top which I'm not going
to tab.
This should lay it out for you fairly well. I was going to pull the lyrics
off of a website, but they are terribly wrong so you will have to decipher
those for yourself. A cool and very simple riff.
