Default spike driver blues

Does anyone have or know where to get a tab for spike drivers blues? I have a CD/book taught by Merle Watson but it doesn't sound like the videos I'm seeing on YouTube. I'm pretty sure I'm playing the tab correctly and the CD sounds a little different as well. I've been trying to follow some of the lessons on YouTube but a tab would certainly help.

There is an early (simple) version, and there is a later version (Mississippi John Hurt added more notes and flourishes over the years as he played in various clubs). I just looked at a YouTube from 1963, which I'd consider a "late "version. That is the version I have learned. Don't have tab for it though. But this may explain why the version you have in your book doesn't sound like the YouTubes you are watching.
