Shaggy, the tone of your question implies you deon't know much about slide to begine with so I'll give you a few pointers and some notes to play with cosmic charlie.
Jerry usually plays slide in standard tuning, muting everything but the D,G, and B string with his right palm. then he just fools around with the 5 string Barre formations. Vibrato is key.
for most of the song you'll slide between A and G, here's some examples to fool around with
E---------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------
G-12/14--14/12--/14--14/12--14/12------12/14--
D-------------12-----------------12/14--------
A---------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------
also try something like this
E--------14/12--12/14---------------
B-12/14-------12--(14)--------------
G----------------------14--14/12/14-
D------------------------14---------
A-----------------------------------
E-----------------------------------
*() indicate harmonic ring
g
and finally try this over the "go on home your mom is calling you" bit
A G D A
E------------------------------
B------14--------------19------
G-12/14--14-/12--12-/19--19/12-
D--------------12--------------
A------------------------------
E------------------------------
I hope this helps a little, you'll have to play with the timing and technique a little, but I'm sure you'll get it.
