So there are basically 4 riffs to this song and they are all very similar.
 
Riff #1
G:------------------------------|
D:-------------3---3h5-3h5------|
A:-------1-3-5---5--------------|
E:--1-3-------------------------|
 
Riff #2
G:------------------------------|
D:-------------3---33-3h5-------|
A:-------1-3-5---5--------------|
E:--1-3-------------------------|
 
Riff #3
G:---------------------3h5------|
D:-------------3---3h5----------|
A:-------1-3-5---5--------------|
E:--1-3-------------------------|
 
Riff #4
G:------------------------------|
D:-------------3---3h5----------|
A:-------1-3-5---5-----3h5------|
E:--1-3-------------------------|
 
Basically I put these in order of frequency. Riff #1 is played the most and could easily
be play through the whole song. Riff #2 instead of 2 hammer-ons he hits that F (3)
twice like a stutter (instead of the 1st hamer-on). Riff #3 the last hammer-on is on the
G string and #4 it is on the A string. The first time #4 is played is right before the line
"Low rider don't use no gas now." Riff #3 is used more frequently after that as well.
 
Have fun and experiment. You could do a 5p3 3h5 or slide 3/5 instead of the the last
hamer-on or do a staccato 333 then the second 3h5 hamer-on.

The only UG bass tab for this song that's actually correct. Ignore the others. This one needs more votes!!!

These riffs do seem correct. You still have to listen to the song for duration and when each riff is used.
