"Just Got Paid" by ZZTop from "Rio Grande Mud"
Ther are two guitars on the recording (fingers in standard tuning and slide likely in open G), but I would guess this song is played live by alternating between a slide and fingers on one guitar in standard tuning, so that is my aim here. BF Gibbons throws a lot of other notes in here and there, but here are the basics. Listen to a recording to piece them together:

Intro
e---------------------------------------
b---------------------------------------
g---------------------------------------
d--------5------------------------------ 
a--5^7-------7---5---7-----7------------
E------0---0---0---0---3^0--------------

e---------------------------------------
b---------------------------------------
g---------------------------------------
d--------5------------------------------ 
a--5^7-------7---5---7-----7------------
E----------------------3^0--------------

e---------------------------------------
b--------------------------/12----------
g---------------------------------------
d--------5------------------------------
a--5^7-------7---5---7------------------
E----------------------3^0--------------

Actually the second guitar here^, but you can fake it with a slide.


Main Riff
e---------------------------------------
b---------------------------------------
g---------------------------------------
d--------5------------------------------ 
a--5^7-------7---5---7-----7------------
E------0---0---0---0---3^0--------------

Apply judicious palm muting for maximum grind

Verse Riff
e-----------------------------------------
b-----------------------------------------
g--------9-9----9-9----7-7----7-7---------
d--------9-9----9-9----7-7----7-7---------
a--------------------------8^9------------
E-----------------------------------------

Turnaround (played with slide in the recording)
e-----------------------------------------
b-----------------------------------------
g-----------------------------------------
d----5-------7----------------------------
a----5-------7----------------------------
E----3-------5----------------------------

or alternately, if you want to spice things up, especially if you are using a slide:

e-----------------------------------------
b--------/12~---------/14~--------------
g--------/12~---------/14~--------------
d----5---/12~----7----/14~--------------
a----5------------7-----------------------
E----3------------5-----------------------

Slide solo break begins with an A5
During the slide solo, rhythm is many variants of a little riff in E:
e----------------------------------------
b-------------------9--------------------
g----------9--------9--------------------
d--9-9^11--11^9--9-----------------------
a----------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------
changing to A:
e----------------------------------------
b-------------------2--------------------
g----2-----2--------2--------------------
d--2-2^4---4^2--2------------------------
a----------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------

then back to E and ending in a few B5's.

*Sorry, not going to attempt tabbing the slide solo

After going back through a verse, the final bit
e----------------------------------------
b----------------------------------------
g----------------------------------------
d--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0^2-------------------
a-----------------------0--2~------------
E----------------------------------------
