OK...I'm finally getting back to this. Who played the lead on the recording....was this Nokie? It did not seem like Bob Bogle style to me.
I tried working this out in a few different positions (around the 4th fret, around the 12th fret, with some open strings) but have settled on the tab below. This sounded the best to me and for me was the easiest to play. I welcome any corrections or improvements.
At some point I'll work out the backing guitar parts....but for now this is what I have.
