Many thanks for this Alex. You must have spent a lot of time on this one.
I'm trying to get the intro down, but with limited use of my index finger
it's not very easy. This has become my favorite song to work on now and
I sure hope I can get to play it right. With my bad eyesight I wish I could
enlarge the tab so I could read it better. Again many thanks for all your work.

Hey Carl, nice to hear from you! If you download the pdf file from the link I posted, you should be able to zoom in and see the numbers larger. I that doesn't work let me know and I'll figure out a way to help. Cheers!

In the tab for the break , what is the G on string 1 ? And is it Norm Hamlett on this tune ? I always imagined it was Mooney ?

It was recorded many years after Mooney was with The Hag - 1978.

The 1st string is raised a half-step (to G, at the nut).
