The timing on this is funky and only approximate because the triplet is
really more swing time. Listen to the song and it'll be easy.
Riff 1 (Main Riff in verse and Solo)
Triplet
G -----7--------7-----------------|
D ----------7---------------------|
A 5---5-----------5-------------3-|
E ------------------2---3-3-4-4---|
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
Often the walking bass has notes omitted
Riff 2 (Bridge)
G -----5--------------------------|
D ----------5---------------------|
A 3---3---------3-3---------------|
E ------------------0---1---2-2-3-|
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
Riff 3 (Break)
G --------------------------------|--------------------------------|
D --2---3---4---5-----------------|---3---4---5--------------------|
A --------------------------------|--------------------------------|
E --------------------------------|--------------------3-----------|
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 Hold this note
This break sounds strange because it's not what the horns are playing
(especially the second time through).
Basic structure...
