Overdubs:

the D-chord in progression I:

I fret the other two intervals with my ringfinger on the g-string and my middlefinger on the b-string and shift my lefthand from position 13 to 10 and back.
The second overdub is played over the ending of the song

Verse:
. means short (as always), - means as long as possible.
In other words, the first stroke (which has the longest time-value)
has to be played short, while you'll let the second stroke (which
has the shortest time-value) ring until the next stroke. I hope this
isn't confusing. Maybe you should have take a look at the notes I made
about the rhythm-guitar in Rockin' All Over The World.

Play the third verse as the first but without the repetition and
replace the last two bars by:
1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + + 1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + + E|--------------------------------|------------------------|B|--------------------------------|------------------------|G|11---11------11-11---11------11-|11\---------------------|D|10---10------10-10---10------10-|10\---------------------|A|12---12-14---12-12---12-14---12-|12\---------------------|E|10---10-10---10-10---10-10---10-|10\---------------------|
Bars 3 and 4 and bars 7 and 8 of the progression under the other
verses differ from the first verse. The pattern of the D-chord
follows the harp there. So in the other verses replace them by:
1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + +E|--------------------------------|B|--------------------------------|G|11---11---------11---11------11-|D|10---10---------10---10------10-|A|12---12-15---14-12---12-14---12-|E|10---10-10---10-10---10-10---10-|

Solo:
For the solo-backing play progression II (you can find it under
"chords and rhythm") and use the same boogie patterns as for the
verses.
Last two verses:
Play the last two verses as the first verse but replace the last
three bars by:
1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + + 1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + + E|------------------------|------------------------|B|------------------------|---*3-3-----3-----3-----|G|4-----------------------|----2-2-----2-----2-----|D|3-----------------------|----0-0-----0-----0-----|A|5-----------------------|------3-----2-----1-----|E|3-----------------------|------------------------|
