The timing on this is funky and only approximate because the triplet is

really more swing time. Listen to the song and it'll be easy.

Riff 1 (Main Riff in verse and Solo)

Triplet

G -----7--------7-----------------|

D ----------7---------------------|

A 5---5-----------5-------------3-|

E ------------------2---3-3-4-4---|

1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

Often the walking bass has notes omitted

Riff 2 (Bridge)

G -----5--------------------------|

D ----------5---------------------|

A 3---3---------3-3---------------|

E ------------------0---1---2-2-3-|

1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

Riff 3 (Break)

G --------------------------------|--------------------------------|

D --2---3---4---5-----------------|---3---4---5--------------------|

A --------------------------------|--------------------------------|

E --------------------------------|--------------------3-----------|

1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 Hold this note

This break sounds strange because it's not what the horns are playing

(especially the second time through).

Basic structure...
