This is not an exact copy which I think would need at least a fretless but it
works when played along with the record. Simple to play and you will develop your own variation.

Tuning:EADG

G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-5-5-5-3---------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------3--33--5----------------------------------------------------------|

This is the basic riff repeated through the verse and intro

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bridge (When I see you coming down the street…)

That’s it; you are basically just playing the root notes except for the A at the end of 
basic riff. Listen to the record for the rhythm. I find myself slipping in extra notes 
dropping some out for variation. The song is very forgiving.
