         Am           Bm              Em

A|---------7-----------9----------------2----------------------------------|
E|-----5--------0----7---------------0-------------------------------------|

The riffs he does throughout mostly use pull-offs using the higher notes of the E minor pentatonic played in open position. There are lots of variations throughout the song - other than the ones listed already, these particular ones come up the most:

e|----3p0-----------------------|
B|---------3p0----3----0--------|
G|------------------------------|
D|------------------------------|
A|------------------------------|
E|------------------------------|

and

e|----3p0-----------------------|
B|----------3p0-----------------|
G|---------------2----0---------|
D|------------------------------|
A|------------------------------|
E|------------------------------|

[Verse] Same as the intro, but sometimes missing the low E note, instead using a nice sliding note on the A string like this:

         Am           Bm              Em
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------5----------------7--------------0----------0h2h0--------0--------|
D|---------7----------------9--------------2------------------2-------------|
A|---------7------7/-----9-----------------2--------------------------------|
E|-----5---------------7-------------0--------------------------------------|

For each chord notice how sometimes he plays the A string separately from the D and G string (inbetween hitting the base note and the 'chord'), and sometimes all together. You can mix it up however you like. [Chorus] Try to slide as much as possible between these chords to get the right sound. Using the thumb-over (hendrix) barre chord technique helps with this.

         Am            Bm            C             D
e|-------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------5-------------7------------9--------------11--------|
D|---------7-------------9------------10-------------12--------|
A|---------7-------------9------------10-------------12-------|
E|-----5---------------7------------8-------------10-----------|

But you are the one..

e|-----3-----|

G|-----3-----|   strummed repeatedly - focus on strumming the lower strings
D|-----0-----|   (i.e. don't play the high E very loud)
A|-----------|
E|-----------|
