note:this is the main riff one semitone lower
also note: Very important if you are going to perform this song. The rhythm of
the third bar of each four-bar riff is slightly different. Listen and you'll

other notes:
*the main riff is played throughout the rest of the song where necessary
*the solo is played four bars in the key of B, then four in the key of C
