This is a line u can alternate in for the main riff to change it up a bit:
G----------------------------------------------------------------
D-----7---------7-5----------------------------------------------
A---------5-7-------7-5------------------------------------------
E-5-5-------------------------------------------------------------
This is another alternate line you can substitute in for the main riff:
G----------------------------------------------------------------
D-----7------5---5-5h7-------------------------------------------
A-------5h7----7-------------------------------------------------
E-5---------------------------------------------------------------
During the chorus you can just play notes along with the lyrics thats whats
Phil Lesh (bassist for the dead) does.
This is what I play during the chorus:
G---------------5-6-8-6-5-4------66-6-66--------------------------------
D--7-7-5-7-5-7---------------5=-----------12-13-15-13-12-11-10-9-8-7--
A------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the very last note of the chorus go back and play the intro riff then
jam on the main line and go into the 2nd verse.
