Hi Chris,
The song has quite a simple chord structure. I assume you are wanting to play lap steel?
I think that most players would use C6th tuning, but I would try it in regular open E tuning. I have feeling the original may be in E tuning. The song is in the key of C.
Shine On

C6th gives you most of the notes of the first 4 bars without moving the slide, though if you play it in C you might tune down a tone or play it in D , so you don`t have to start on the octave
