Most of the guitar parts in this song are a guitar figure that Ray 
moves up and down as the chord changes. The figure looks like this 
in G: 
 
E ----------------------------------------------- 
B ----------------------------------------------- 
G ----------------------------------------------- 
D ---5-5--------5-5------------------------------ 
A ---5-5-6-5----5-5-6-5-------------------------- 
E ---3-3-----6--3-3-----6-3---------------------- 
 
Just move that up and down the neck as the chord changes. 
Some of the other chords, mainly in the "chorusy" section 
("Plow through rest area...") are just barre chords.
