RIFFS:

Of course there are lots of cool licks and riffs in this song, and here are my humble
of the more prominent ones that stand out. Try them out if you get two guitars going
and of course, feel free to correct them as you see fit (sorry if they’re not entirely
– these are my first riffs!):

riff1 (played over the B E B chords in the break and coda):
e|--------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------|
D|--1-----------------------------------|
A|-----2--4--2-----2—2------------------|
E|--------------4--------4--2-----------|


riff2 (that quick one between the B E B chords in the break and coda):
e|--------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------|
A|--------2--4---------2----------------|
E|--2--4--------2--4--------------------|


riff3 (This riff is only played ONCE – at the end of the break on top of the last B E
It starts out the same as the beginning of riff1, but then it goes into a descent which
on the A note and sets you up for the A chord of the upcoming chorus – might not be
– but it works for me!):


e|-----------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------1-----------------------------|
D|--1-----------------4--2--4--2--0--------------|
A|-----2--4--2-----------------------4--2--------|
E|--------------4--------------------------------|
