Tuning: Drop D (D,A,D,G,B,E)

Riff 1 (clean)
E|-----------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------|
G|-----6---------6---------6-----------------4h6-|
D|-----7---------7---------7-----------4h6h7-----|
A|-0-0----0-0--0----0-0--0----0--4h5h7-----------|
D|-----------------------------------------------|

This riff continues through to the verse.

Play Riff 1 x4    "You stand with the gun in your hand..."

Riff 2   "One bang blood rush to the head..."
E|---------------0------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------|
G|-----6-----------6------6-----------------4h6-|
D|-----7------------------7-----------4h6h7-----|
A|-0-0----0-0--0------0-0----0--4h5h7-----------|
D|----------------------------------------------|

Or you can play Riff 2 like this (which I think this is how he plays it):
E|-----------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------|
G|-----6------------6------6-----------------4h6-|
D|-----7-------------------7-----------4h6h7-----|
A|-0-0----0-0--0-7*----0-0----0--4h5h7-----------|
D|-----------------------------------------------|

It's a little harder with the harmonic there, but both ways sound almost
exactly the same, so you can play it either way you choose really.

Play Riff 2 x2

A|-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--|
D|-------------------------------------------------------|

Play Riff 1 x2   "She cries but her man denies..."
Play Riff 2 x2   "She hides all the pain inside..."
Play Riff 3 x2   "Life is beautiful..."

Riff 4   "And hey, you're beautiful..."

G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9/11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-12\11-11-|

Play Riff 5 x1.5 (ends with the bend release pull-off thingy)

Play Riff 1 x1
Play Riff 2 x2   "Too weak, too weary to try..."
Play Riff 3 x2 (w/ distortion)   "Life is beautiful..."
Play Riff 4 x2 (w/ distortion)   "And hey, you're beautiful..."
Play Riff 5 x2.5 (end with bend release pull-off thingy again)
Play Riff 1 x1   "You're beautiful to me..."
Play Riff 2 x2   "You're beautiful to me."

This is indeed a beautiful song. Enjoy!
