Having listened to the studio and several live versions there are still two lines I'm not certain of:
"While the cold winter waving
While you stone the crow"
Comments and corrections very welcome.

The main riff is picked.
For the intro it is as above, D5 for 4 bars, C for 1 bar. Then the same pattern but D5 x2 C x1, and
back to D5 before the verse begins.
The e string is often muted to varying degrees through the song.

A D5 begins on the "know" of "I think you know" and continues for 2 bars before the G of the break
riff begins.
No Capo
Though if strumming, try the D (instead of D5) and C barred in the "A position" at 5 and 3,
with G at 3 in the "E position". It also sounds good with the D and C barred in the "E position"
at 10 and 8. Strumming DUU nicely approximates the riff especially if you only hit the bass note on the Down.
