Jim,
I've got it tabbed out for E9th in the key of C.
The intro chords are C, Am, Fm and G7th.
And that same chord progression is pretty much repeated throughout the song.
I didn't mean to repeat what Howard said but he sneaked in and posted just before me. Very Happy

Cool That's OK Erv. You identified the (more accurate) G7!!

It wasn't originally played on C6, but these are the original notes on lap steel.
Tab:
chords
   Db          Bbm          Gbm         Ab
E____1_1_1_1_1___6_6_6_6_6____________________
C____1_1_1_1_1___5_5_5_5_5____________________
A_____________________________________________
G_____________________________2_2_2_2_2__5____
E_____________________________2_2_2_2_2__4____
C_____________________________________________
notes F          Bb           A          C
      Db         F            Gb         Ab

Most people play it in C. Here are the middle 8 strings of a 10-string C6th.
Tab:
chords
   C              Am              Fm         G

F________________________________________________
notes E             A              Ab        B
      C             E              F         G

You can use pedal 8 to get the bar slant on the last note.
