One kiss'll show you now baby--it can happen to you

The little riff is played after bar 1 of the main riff around 3:54 in the song. I found it easier to play it like this, especially in the context of that riff (where I was already in the 7th position): E|---------------| B|--10/12--10-9--| G|--11/13--11-9--| D|---------------| A|---------------| E|---------------|
