Don't take away this feeling inside, I'm still in love with you.

I surrendee -- ee -- eer.

-- TIPS AND REMARKS --
On some notations the chords during the opening riff are marked for example:
|Gm Eb/G|(ch)Cm/G(/ch) |x2
As I recall that might be the way it was written on the publised song book, but I don't
hear Rainbow playing it that way.
What you hear on the opening riff is basically this:
e|----------------|----------------|----------------|15--------------| B|8-----11--------|13--------------|8-----11--------|----------------| G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| A|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
For a more advanced technique you can try this. The bend should actually be more like a
"prebend". The two strings should really ring in unison. In the studio recording this
was probably done in multiple takes, but Richie also plays this live on some recordings.
e|----------------|----------------|----------------|15--------------| B|8-----11--------|13--------------|8-----11--------|18b20-----------| G|10b12-12b14-----|15b17-----------|10b12-12b14-----|----------------| D|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| A|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
The "Cm/A" is played as open chord arpeggio. The first time the latter half sounds like
a triplet to me:
[(] [-] [3] [-] [)]
e|--------3-------| B|------4----4----| G|----5---------5-| D|--5-------------| A|0---------------| E|----------------|
...and the second time regular 1/8's:
e|--------3-------| B|------4---4-----| G|----5-------5---| D|--5-----------5-| A|0---------------| E|----------------|
