Thanks Bill & Will for getting this one started, It's one of my favorites too.
This is from memory, so it could be a little off. Learned it over 25 
years ago and it's still the first song I whip out when asked to play 
something. Here's a little more detail.

Position your fingers like so:

1-Ring
2-Middle
3-Index
4-Thumb
5-Thumb
6-Thumb

This is the cord shape you want to start with (E7). Just bounce 
between the 6th and 4th strings with your thumb for now:

-7-
-5-
-7-
-6-
-0-
-0-

Then move the same cord shape down one fret for 4 notes, and back up 
again for 4, keep bouncing till you're ready to start.


It looks like this tabbed out. Mute strings 4,5,and 6 with the heal 
of your palm against the bridge. This stays fairly constant 
throughout the song and gives the effect of two different guitars 
playing.
