(G7) means maybe throw in a dominant seventh.
The C and G chords use sus4's etc off and on.
You can incorporate the riff that runs throughout the song into
your fingerpicking by playing it on the 4th (D) and 5th (A)
strings, effectively playing Csus4's, G6/B's, G7/B's etc.
Csus4 = x33010
G/B = x20003
G6/B = x22003
G7/B = x23003
Use a C harp for the harmonica solo.

Steve plays this capo'd up on the 5th fret using a G chord formation in the key of C.

I think Steve Earle was probably the only guy who could do an album of Townes covers and nail them all.
