Notes:

I'd probably do the C to F intro like Keith Richards (without the open G tuning that is)...
Code:

   C (x32010@1)F (133211@1)or  C (x32010@1)  FE-----------------------| (133211@1)B--5--6------8----10----|
G--5--5------9----10----|
D--5--7------10---10----|
A-----------------------|
E-----------------------|


try these voicing for the bridge:
Code:

    Ab (xx1114@1) Bb (x1333x@1)Gm (355333@1)Cm (x3101x@1) Ab (xx1114@1)Bb (x1333x@1)Bm (x24432@1)GE----------------------------------------------| (320003@1)B----4---6----8---8---9---11--12--12-----------|
G----5---7----7---8---8---9---11--12-----------|
D----6---8----8---10--10--12--12--12-----------|
A----------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------|

Or,

    Ab (xx1114@1) Bb (x1333x@1)Gm (355333@1)Cm (x3101x@1) Ab (xx1114@1)Bb (x1333x@1)Bm (x24432@1)GE--------------------------------------------| (320003@1)B----4---3----3---4---4---6---7---8----------|
