TAB:

This is the D** part:

  D       D11 D Dsus     D D11 D
  |        \  | |        | |  /
E 2---2---2-0-2-3^|3---3-2-0-2-----|    A note on all these D chords: I
B 3---3---3-3-3-3^|3---3-3-3-3-----| wrote down pretty much what Mary-Chapin
G 2---2---2-0-2-2^|2---2-2-0-2-----| played on "Austin City Limits," but it's
D 0---0---0-0-0-0^|0---0-0-0-0-----| open to improvisation; I'm sure she
A ----------------|----------------| doesn't play it the same every time.
E ----------------|----------------| (The ^ is a tie across measures.)
  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .

The electric guitar plays the following part in the intro and fade-out;
at the very least, the acoustic guitar does the hammer-on in the 2nd bar.

E ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
B ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
G ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
D ----------------|------------0---|0---------------|----------------|
A 2-----2---------|0=2---2---------|------3-----2---|2=0---0---------|
