The intro is just a scale build-up with a few random notes at the top, although I'm not exactly sure how it goes.
The main song however, then begins like this:
Riff 1:(x8)
G------------------------
D------------------------ n.b. Only play one 5 on A
A-5-5-----55-3-0--------- the first time though.
D----------------6-5-3-0-
Riff 2:
G------------------------------
D------------------------------
A-5-------55-------55-------55-
D------------------------------
Then play Riff 1 (x4) followed by Riff 2 in which there is a low slide down instead of the second 5 on A in the
second couplet. Then:
Riff 3:(x2)

Then he plays lots of random jammy *** which i can't tab, it leads into something like this:

This riff is played quite a few times before we reach the big finale: Riff 4, then Riff 5 (x4) but with this
variation on the second of the four:
G----------------------------------------------
