Note: Listen for precise timing of chords and notes, I had to condense them
a little to save space. 

standard tuning

 riff 1

For riff 1, for most of the first two repetitions each chord is 
strummed once, for the last two reps they're strummed in a simple rhythm
which is easy to hear.


 riff 2

Second time they use this riff, drop the second part


For the solo, again beware of the condensed note spacing.  Also note that
the bends are slow bends,
