Don't have the tab, Kenny, but here's a couple of YouTube videos that may help you. Bill.

Glad to get this memory refresher Ricky....but nobody I know around here, knows the intro. I can't get anybody to kick it off like that. They just look at me like I'm nuts.

But then, no fiddle in the bands I play with so maybe the guitar pickers never picked up the first part of the intro.

Yeah Jerry; I always get the Guitar player to play the first part..if he doesn't know it; I'll play it and tell him to learn it for the next gig.

I usually play both parts if the band actually knows the chords to the intro (most don't). It's rare to find bands these days that actually know the intro.
