This is such a great song, it's too bad there's really no recording
of it that does it justice. My personal favorite version is the
Blind Eye Sees All performance, and watching that you can see that
Paul is mainly improvising sloppily around a few central riffs.

The first riff is:

E--0---0-----------------------0---0--------------0-0-0--|
B--0---0-5-5-5-----------------0---0-5-5-5--3-3-3-3-3-3--|
G--1-----6-7-7--7-7-7-7\9-9-9--1-----6-7-7--2-2-2-2-2-2--| ETC ETC
D--2-----7-7-7--7-7-7-7\9-9-9--2-----7-7-7--0-0-0-0-0-0--|
A--2---------------------------2-------------------------|
E--0---------------------------0-------------------------|

The other riff is:

E-------------------------------------------------------------|
B-------------------------------------------------------------|
G--16~-16~-16~-19~-19~-21~-21~--19~-19~-19~-19~-19~-19~-16~~--|
D-------------------------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------|

E-------------------------------------------19~-----19~-19~--|
B------------------------------------------------------------|
G--16~-16~-16~-19~-19~-21~-21~--21~-21~-21~-----21~----------|
D------------------------------------------------------------|
A------------------------------------------------------------|
E------------------------------------------------------------|

ETC ETC.. there's really not a whole lot I can tab but those riffs
as a general guideline... listen to any version of the song to hear
the structure of the piece and go from there. have fun!
