The chords for the main riff are as follows.  As to what order you actually
pick the notes, it's hard to tell because there are lots of notes ringing
at once.  What I _can_ hear is that each note on the G string is slid down
to the next one.  Below right is rougly how I play it...

It's all the same,               only the names will change.

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride.   And I'm wanted, dead or a - live.

(solos are a bitch to transcribe, and my version is probably wrong anyway,
 so it ain't here)

---

I've taken some pretty major liberties with my C chords here.  Whenever I
play the song, I'll switch between 'normal' C major, Cadd9, and the 
embellished C with the added D and G (on the B and E strings respectively).
Usually I decide which one to play depending on where my fingers are at the
time.
