Since there are no correct tabs out there for such a well known riff, I thought I'd post my own.
I worked the tabs out by ear from a slowed down version of the song, so the odd note may
incorrect but I think the vast majority are correct.
To get the correct timing try listening to the song, or even better get a slowed down version.
All string bends in this song are small bends, not quite half step.
I've set \ as sliding down the neck of the guitar, so higher in note, and / as the reverse.

Never could believe the things you do to me,
Never could believe the way you are.
Every day I bless the day that you got through to me,
'Cause baby, I believe that you're a star.
Everyone's a winner, baby, that's the truth (yes, the truth)
Making love to you is such a thrill.
Everyone's a winner, baby, that's no lie (yes, no lie)
You never fail to satisfy (satisfy)

Never could explain just what was happening to me,
Just one touch of you and I'm a flame.
Baby, it's amazing just how wonderful it is
That the things we like to do are just the same.
Everyone's a winner, baby, that's the truth (yes, the truth)
Making love to you is such a thrill.
Everyone's a winner, baby, that's no lie (yes, no lie)
You never fail to satisfy (satisfy)
