Hmmmm, I've never seen it published. We play it in E, so the chords are like E, A, and B. The trick is the "chicken picking" speed. So, if you already know a walking bass line in E, then just triple your notes and "chicken pick it" for that Commander Cody feel.
Rather than do TAB, we have a nifty guitar notation that might work. I'm a TAB user myself, but I find typing it to be cumbersome so this notation is a fairly decent substitution.
first number = string/second number = fret
BB! B! 6/3 (bend full) Don't stop driving that Hot Rod Lincoln
I'm not sure if I really "pick" each note the number of times (denoted by the ++++) I wrote, but I just play that basic walking bass pattern and pick the heck out of it.
