I can't get the above version to sound right (for which I take full and total responsibility), but this one works, too. Basically.

I just tried doing fixing this tab up a little as well… I hope it helps.
Minnesota Tab
I just tried to edit the existing tab, which was close to correct
but has a few problems. The biggest thing is that it was missing
the Am during the chorus part, and just had a C. You can hear he
does a walkdown on the A string from C to Am.
The D* means play a normal D but hammer on and off on the G string
a couple of times. You also dont have to... I think it was labelled
a Dsus in the other tab but I don't think that's correct.
Also I find the C sounds good if you play C9 - which makes for
an easier transition too.
C9 = 3

Enjoy.
