Here’s the beginning riff. Where the notes split, play the bottom notes the
first time and top notes the second time, repeat as needed.
All fingerings are relative to a capo on the first fret.
D F#m G* Bm A/C#

Even though the band doesn’t really play chords, I’ve added chords that fit
because it’s nice to have chords with the words. Here’s one way you could
play the chords, putting emphasis on the high or low end of the chord to go
along with the high or low version of the riff.
Capo 1
