Bear in mind that you don't need to cover every part. Cowboy chords and a convincing singer would get you there, it's such a great track that people love.
P.s. my instinct would be to rock it up from the get-go with a dash of overdrive and some palm muting.

I agree about rocking it up from the start.
The rest of the band are reluctant at the moment. We have a few other songs that we just punk up. They want to try to keep this more to the original but they may have to rethink that.

I said I'll, I'll see what I can... C Major
Your suggestion of using an octaver works well. I combined that with a bit of flange as suggested by @maharg101 and it's starting to sound better.
I need to get into the mindset of the song next. Guitar is quite a focus in a lot of our songs so I have to get into the mindset that this one really is all about the vocals and we are just adding a bit of texture that that.
I think we need to play it a lot and we will gradually find our way with it. I do think it will be a crowd pleaser when we get it right.
Good write up @Grunfeld - what’s BVs?
Crunch guitar sound - Verse F - > Fsus4s and Bb -> Bbsus 4s
pre chorus 2 finger octaves and power chord it in the chorus. Done.
There's a few songs my band do that are just so completely unsuited for a 3 piece (Billie Jean - the horror!) - and I've never been happy doing them no matter what arrangement and / or effects I've tried to make them come alive.
Come up with an arrangement you feel comfortable playing. If you aren’t sold on the arrangement, you won’t play it with conviction.
I'm not doubting your experience, but practically every cover band I've been in and seen hasn't been remotely close to the original recordings.
Most of the time the original artists don't even come close to replicating their recordings live - unless they're Def Leppard or The Eagles.
