Pretty much the same thing for the next verse . . . here’s the lyrics
No chorus in between

Well I heard Mr. Young sing about her
Well I heard ol’ Neil put her down
Well I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don’t need him round anyhow

Solo. . . 

Lol…ya sorry I can’t figure it out, I’ll try some more later
For now that’s about it . . . of course then the last verse which goes

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they’ve been known to pick a song or two.
Lord, they get me off so much,
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue, now how about you.

. . . Same tab

After that, a chorus (repeat)

Then, piano . . . 

Of course this song is definitely best with a band, the piano adds a lot to it and so does the 2nd guitar
It’s a good song to pick when your bored too.
Have fun with it!
