That´s basically all...
Here´s the beginning of the song right to the first chorus (commas divide
bars).

Intro:

4xRiff 1, Riff 2, 2xRiff 1

Verse:

2xRiff 1, B5 F5, 5xRiff 1, B5 C5, 3xRiff 1

Prechorus:

B5 F5, Riff 1, B5 C5, Riff 2, Riff 3, Riff 2, Riff 3

Chorus:

B5 F5, C5 G5, D5 Dmaj7, F5 C5
B5 F5, C5 G5, D5 Dmaj7, F5 C5

and so on...

He plays G blues all the time, sounds very jazzy however.
At the end of the (fast) Outro he repeats 4 notes of Riff 3.
