    The song consists of a number of riffs.
     
  • Riff 1
    E-------------------------------------
    B-------------------------------------
  • G-------------------------------------
    D----7--5-h-7--7--7--5----------------
    A-----------------------7-6-5---------
  • E------------------------------8--5---
     
    This is the main riff that plays throughout the song.
  •  
    Riff 2
    E-------------------------------------
  • B-------------------------------------
    G------------------5--5--7-p-5--------
    D--7--7--5-h-7--7---------------7-----
  • A--0----------------------------------
    E-------------------------------------
     
  • This is the second riff that plays 6 times during the chorus.
     
    Before riff 4, there's a variation on Riff 1 which goes like this:
  •  
    Riff 3
    E--------------------------------------
  • B-------------------13--15--15-b-(17)--
    G--14--12-h-14--14--------------------- x 4
    D--------------------------------------
  • A--------------------------------------
    E--------------------------------------
     
  •  
    Then it goes fairly dark and sinister for Riff 4, which is:
     
  • Riff 4
    E------------------------------------------------------------------
    B------------------------------------------------------------------
  • G------------------------------------------------------------------
    D--7-7-7-7---10-10-10-10---9-9-9-9---12-12-12-12---15-14-----------
    A------------------------------------------------------------------
  • E------------------------------------------------------------------
     
    (Just pick each note however many times sounds correct to you)
  •  
    The 4th time this riff is played, it starts to sound more like this:
    E------------------------------------------------------------------
  • B------------------------------------------------------------------
    G------------------9----9----------9---9---------------------------
    D--7-7-7-7---10-10---10---10---9-9---9---9---12-12-12-12---15-14-14
  • A------------------------------------------------------------------
    E------------------------------------------------------------------
     
  • Alternate between that and the first version of Riff 4, until the song goes back to Riff 1. Riff 1 is played twice here, followed by riff 2 once, then Riff 1 once more. Then, go back to playing Riff 4 again.
     
    This continues for a time, before a variation of Riff 4 starts playing:
  •  
    Riff 5
    E---------------------------------------------------------------------
  • B10-10-10-10---13-13-13-13---12-12-12-12---15-15---17-b-(19)-(19)-r-17
    G---------------------------------------------------------------------
    D---------------------------------------------------------------------
  • A---------------------------------------------------------------------
    E---------------------------------------------------------------------
     
  • The number of times to play the note that I've put here are correct.
     
    Play the riff twice like this.
  •  
    Then, on the third time, play it as above, except, after the last 12, just hit 15 eight times with open G.
     
  • The song then goes into the acoustic slide guitar part:
     
    E-----------------------------------------
  • B-2---2-s-5---2---2-s-5---2---2-s-5---2---
    G-2---2-s-5---2---2-s-5---2---2-s-5---2---
    D-2---2-s-5---2---2-s-5---2---2-s-5---2---
  • A-0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---5---0---
    E-----------------------------------------
     
  • Listen to the song to get the rhythm for this part.
     
    Then the electric guitar comes back, and the following is played:
  •  
    Riff 2
    Riff 1
  • Riff 2
     
    then:
  •  
    E-------------------------------------
    B----------5--------------------------
  • G--7-b-(9)---7-p-5---5----------------
    D------------------7---7--5-h-7-------
    A-------------------------------------
  • E-------------------------------------
     
    Riff 2
  • Riff 2
    Riff 2
     
  • E---------------------------------------------------------
    B----------5---------5---------5--------------------------
    G--7-b-(9)---7-b-(9)---7-b-(9)---(9)-r-7-7-p-5---5--------
  • D----------------------------------------------7---7-5-h-7
    A---------------------------------------------------------
    E---------------------------------------------------------
  •  
    E---------------------
    B---------------------
  • G------------5-b-(7)-- x 6
    D--7--5-h-7-----------
    A---------------------
  • E---------------------
     
    E----------------------------------------------
  • B----------------------------------------------
    G--7--7-b-(9)-(9)-(9)-(9)-r-7--7-p-5---5-------
    D------------------------------------7---7-----
  • A----------------------------------------------
    E----------------------------------------------
     
  • Then just hit this chord 4 times:
     
    D--7---------------------
  • A--0---------------------
     
    And then the acoustic slide guitar closes the song, with
  • the following slide riff added to the earlier slide riff:
     
    E------------------------------------------
  • B---5-s-7--7-s-9---------------------------
    G---5-s-7--7-s-9---------------------------
    D---5-s-7--7-s-9---------------------------
  • A---0---0--0---0---------------------------
    E------------------------------------------
     
  • Again, listen to the song to judge how best to play this.
     
    The song then ends on:
  •  
    E------------------------------------------
    B---7-s-5---2------------------------------
  • G---7-s-5---2------------------------------
    D---7-s-5---2------------------------------
    A---0---0---0------------------------------
  • E------------------------------------------
