REVISED(11/22/96): intro riff slightly changed
I don't have all of this but I do have most of it. Correct it if you can.
intro riff-
guitar 1(distortion)
E |
B |
G |
D 5 3 3 3 2 2 |
A 5 5 |
E 3 3 3 | repeat |
I find it easiest to use my thumb when playing the lower notes.
(pay more attention to the rhythm and the feel than to the numbers)
E 3 |
B 3 |
G 4 |
D 5 7 5 7 5 7 5 7 7 9 7 9 3 3 x 4 4 x 5 5 |
A 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 5 5 5 5 3 3 x 4 4 x 5 |

guitar 2(right before verse)
verse/main riff-
E |

D 5 5 7 5 7 5 5 7 5 7 |
A 5 5 7 5 7 5 5 7 5 7 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 |

D 7 7 9 7 9 3 4 5 |
A 5 5 5 5 5 3 4 5 |
E 1 2 3 | continue similar pattern |
Then there are a bunch of chords that I don't feel like figuring out right now
and this lick right before the harmonica solo:
E 3 |
B 3 |
G 4 3 |
D 5 3 5 |
A 5 3 4 5 |
E 3 3 6 |
After the harmonica solo the rhythm guitar goes into this riff:
E |
B |
G 5 0 7 5 7 5 |
D 5 7 7 5 7 7 5 5 0 7 5 0 7 5 0 5 7 |
A 0 5 0 7 7 0 5 0 7 7 0 5 0 3 0 5 3 0 5 3 0 5 7 |
E 0 3 0 5 5 0 3 0 5 5 0 3 0 3 5 |
During this part, the other guitar plays something like this:
Follow the tab here loosely.Just play it in rhythm and it should sound alright:

bend it when it sounds appropriate
