Johnny Appleseed. LOVE this tune.

Pretty sure I hear a mandolin playing the main riff. What key is this? I would love to learn to play this.

Hi Jasona:
Great tune! It is in G.
Here is a previous Cafe thread about this song (http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/showthread.php?36271-Johnny-appleseed-joe-strummer-amp-the-mescaleros).
And here is a very nice chord chart for the song (http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/j/joe_strummer/johnny_appleseed_crd.htm).
As the author of the chord chart points out, the palm muting of the chords and that infectious Bo Diddley beat {dat dadat dadat - dadat dat} are the keys to the song.
Great stuff!
