Actually wrybread all of those chord changes are correct. If you don't believe me watch them play it on youtube. There is a video from "Old Grey Whistle Test" from about 75' or so. This transcription is accurate.Your's works just fine for a campfire version I guess. My only addition is that both guitars are tuned to open A tuning (EAEAC#E low to high) Lowell George has his capoed at the third fret,Paul Barre plays rhythm uncapoed. Watch the video if you need to see it for yourself.

This has got to be the most epic name for a song ever.

Just wanted to point out that the word it "taquita", which is feminine, not the masculine "taquito". Makes sense, since the song references Juanita, right?
