It's just the rhythm guitar in the verse except for a few lead fills
which I'll tab when we get to them:

Hey, Country boy,

I'll come to see you, And I'll save you, I'll save you.

Verse 2
ADsus2/AADsus2/A
Hey, Country Boy,
ADsus2/AA
What're you sad about, I think we'll work it out,
F#mED
Even in the morning rain, I'll come to see you,
DC5
Hope your feelings're the same. (Repeat Fill 2)
Bridge
Bm
How many ears must a young girl have?
E
I know she hears you cry, I know she makes you laugh,
F#m
Itchy and Scratchy come runnin' up the alley,
G
If you'd be good, I'd be good to your Daddy,
Bm
Who loves you but I bet it's not the same
EG
as your, North Country Boy.
Instrumental
Play the intro riff again. There's a harmonic pumping out behind it
this time. This can be found by lightly touching the 3rd (G) string
directly above the 5th fret - don't press down, but play the string
and it should ring. It may need a bit of distortion to bring it out.
Then the guitar solo starts. I think it's played with a slide, but
if you don't have one or an empty pint-glass to hand, it sounds
alright by just fretting the notes with your fingers and add plenty
of vibrato.

Over the last 3 bars of the solo a louder, more prominent overdub

Outro
A weird chord starts playing, I think it's C#7b5 but you play it
like this:
E|--7--| This is played a few times with that
B|--8--| Fret five harmonic repeating.
G|--6--| Finally the original intro riff comes
D|E|-----|| back in, plus ad lib vocals and
A|E|-----|| the song fades out.
