(*There's a bunch of improvisation over the G on this "riff 2." Sorry I didn't tab it all out but there are a lot of variations on it both on the album version and in live versions. What I've tabbed here is just one of the more recognizable riffs.) Dmno5/G G6sus4 G6sus4 G x4 G G6sus4 G G6sus4 G I caught the flu and away I flew. G N.Y.C., P.D. blue.
