The song's pretty rough (especially live) so there's a little improvising and stuff going on each time he plays it; the riff below is right bit to be honest the harder and rougher you play this song the better it sounds so go nuts, I guess. Main Riff EG E|--------------------------------3-----------------------------| B|--------------------------------3-----------------------------| G|--------------------------4--4--4-----------------------------| D|--2--2--7--7--7--7--7--5--5--5-----10--10--9------------------| A|--2--2--------------------5--5----------------10--12--12--10--| E|--0--0--------------------3--3--------------------------------| To sound right it relies a lot on really hitting the low E when you strike the Em and the G; when you play the G for a third time you want to hit the higher strings as shown above to make it really sound like the record. With regards to the little riff bit you can play pretty fast and loose with these notes and it sounds 'right' if you throw in bits of palm muting or hammer on pretty much at random as long as the chords and the basic riff notes stay tight.
