-There's a lot of improvising in this riff. But this is the basic pattern. Stick with
the B and C#
chords, and mess with the timing of the notes to get it.

"Anything I can do... I can do anything"
Then back to Riff 2, for the second verse.

A|---4---4----4-------2---2----2--2------|
E|---------------------------------------|
3rd Chorus- Play Riff 3 1x
Outro- Play Riff 2 2x
There is some improvisation on Riff 2 at the end as well.
Just mess around with the riff to figure it out.
And that's it.
