*I might have tabbed this a half step too 
high because my guitar might have been a half step too high. 
Only reason i say this is because it seems more likely that 
he wrote it in A than in Bb. 

The beginning has one acoustic strumming 
Bb during the riff and later joins 
the second guitar to play Eb.

Riff---Bb             Eb
e--------------------------------------
B-----8-8-8----------------------------
G-----------10-10-8-7---8--------------
D-8-8-------------------8-strum--------
A-----------------------6--------------
E--------------------------------------

continue that for the verse.

the "Laugh Hard its a long way to the Bank" is 
over a Bb, Eb progression again, 
but w/out the first riff. instead he just goes

Fill A
G--7/10-107-7/10-107-

Bb                                   Eb (play fill A)
Laugh hard its a long way to the bank
Bb                                   Eb (play it again)
I can't be blamed for nothin anymore
etc....
