While singing: Markus is frickin' quite a lot here. He varies the bass part freely.

I think there is no exact riff, only a basis to play on. I just write

down some standard patterns. Feel free to write something like this on your own. Can't be wrong :) 1.) 2.)
G 75 75
D 35 75
A5 505 3 3 5 5505 3 35035 7535

The small bass riff before the "And in my cabin ..."

G
D 6 5 3
A 5 0 5 0 3 2 1 0
E
The part "And in my cabin ..." D, B-flat: something like this ...
G 7
D 7 7 78 8 10 8 7
A 5 5 5 10 8 7
E
Sorry, but I don't know the F-maj and a-min part right now ... The silent part is something like this: 8X
G
D 12
A5 12 12 3 (3) 0 2 3
E 10(slide to)3 (3) 0 1 2 3

The solo part is not transcriptable. Here Markus is frickin' on D maj and

C maj 2 measures each. Sometimes he uses the half riff (see above) from the

silent part. But later it seems to me that he just improvizes. I play something like this:
G
D
A5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 3 3 3 3 3 0 2 3
E 5 5 5 3 3 3 0 1 2 3
Later I play something like this (ME, not Markus :) ): Dmaj:
G 7 9 7
D 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 7 9 9 7 5 7 5 7 5
A5 5 5 7 7 7
