The whole song is basically one riff:
 
e|---------------|
B|---------------|
G|---------------|
D|---------------|
A|----0-2--------|
E|--3-----3-0----|
 
 
What I like to do is make it more exciting by adding more drama so when he gets
to the part where he says they gonna take you down by the riverside I add
 
e|----------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------|
A|----0-2-------x-x--x-x-----0-2-------x-x--x-x-|
E|--3-----3-0---x-x--x-x---3-----3-0---x-x--x-x-|
 
 
then to add more suspense I throw in an E5 chord
 
e|----------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------|
A|----0-2-------2-2--2-2-----0-2-------2-2--2-2-|
E|--3-----3-0---0-0--0-0---3-----3-0---0-0--0-0-|
