This is the way I play the intro.

D   Am7   G  D    |----------------------|  D
                  |----------------------|
                  |----------------------|
                  |--3p2p0---------------|
                  |--------3p2p0-----0---|
                  |--------------2h4-----|

I don't know how to write the riffs that are added during the song.
Some are hammer on and pull offs on the 4th & 5th string while strumming
the D chord.

Verse 
        D                             Am7

        Country folks can survive       

Chorus 

                    G                           F
        Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run

        D                       Am7
        We came from the West Virginia coal mines

        And the Rocky Mountains and the Western Skies
                                      Am7

        He never called me by my name just HillBilly
                                Am7
        My GrandPa taught me to live off the land

            G                 D
        And I'd send him some homemade wine
                                          Am7
        But he was killed by a man with a switch blade knife
            G                      D
        For forty three dollars my friend lost his life
                                          Am7
        I'd love to spit some Beechnut in that dudes eye

        Country folks can survive
