The chords are on the altcountrytab site:

I Can't Keep From Talking Tab

 

The tabbed intro there seems a bit off, though, so here's my go:

D--x-x-x------0--|-----0h2--0--0h2--0-----2--|--4---------0--|

You know, I should really stop posting tab from work as:

 

(1) I should be working, and

(2) I don't have a guitar handy to verify what I'm posting

 

Anyhoo, I corrected a bit of a mistake in my previous post. I reserve the right to screw this up, too.

 

Enjoy.

One more thing, some of the hammer-ons sound better to me as pull-offs. Kinda like this:

 

e---------------------------|
B---------------------------|
G-----------------------4---|
D-----2p0--0--2p0--0----2---|
A---------------------2-----|
E--0------------------------|
