I used to listen to Jim Reeves version. One of my favorite song. I think you should be able manage with these chords - C * (C with G note on the 1st string), Am7, Fadd9, G, Gadd11, Basically your pinky holding on to the 1 string 3 fret for these chords. With playing alternate bass… With strumming pattern 1,2,3,&,4… And including something like below here and there as in the Jim Reeves version song… but in any case, I’m no expert. 
Ben would be your best bet and there might be others like Mark_Rocka could help too.

I’d be willing to try and work out a break build-a-break style in a coupla days when I get home. I’m currently thinking probably Carter style and then more crosspicking, and maybe I’ll try a third more intricate, but talk is cheap. I’ll see if I can when I’m home and get back to you

Perfect, thanks y’all!!! I’ve tried to do my own, but an never get further than the melody with a few chords thrown in, nothin’ fancy. Anyway, I was havin’ trouble figuring out the chords for the melody with this one. Seems easy but we’ve been busy and my brain is fried toast right now!

Well, I managed to work out a Carter style and a crosspicking solo for it, and I could make a video lesson if you want, it’d be a good learning experience for me, and could be helpful for you and anyone else. It might take a long time to upload though

Sorry @theChristiancowgirl… But you see now you have @D_HRRFan7303 's music sheet, and I don’t know if you checked out Gunnar’s videos, he is going great, I’m sure he will provide playable and accurate music for you! I was/am being kept busy as well lately.
