Here is a tab of the main riff, ive been dissapointed not seing this existing on
the internet so i decided to make it so. This is just the main riff, and real
easy and fun to jam on :D
    A                 G      G              G

it was played like this mostly in the late 70s, mid 80s and 95, but any other
time they played it just a little different, like this(rapidly).
   A                 G    G              G

Thats basically it, this is just by ear, and it sounds right to me.
