[End] Notes: 1. The chordal structure of the principal riff, is built around the C/G chord and it's variants. 2. Although, the chords are coloured by alternate fingering, you may wish to simplify it by using the root chord. Unfortunately, it won't have the weight of the original progressions. 3. Unfortunately, I couldn't find an authentic arrangement of this song. This is how I hear it and I welcome feedback.
