The verse riff basically follows the guitar with a few exceptions:

That's the riffs of the song. Very easy, but cool to play.
I hope things aren't too messed up, because this is my first tab submission.
I didn't put any measure bars or note values with the tab because, at least
in my case, whem I get a tab off the internet, I'm already familiar with the
song and all that other stuff just makes it harder to read. This is tab
plain and simple--where to put your fingers on the fretboard so you can play
the song.
So, forget all that other stuff, and enjoy taking the 60 bus!
