This tab is not perfect but it gets the job done.
The key notes in the main riff are the F# on the 2 and then the 2-4-5.
Instead of sliding back from 9 you can always just play F# on the 1 just like in the
measure of the song.
Play around with the second part of the main riff to see if there's something you like better.
