It's basically E-G-A-B-A-G (x4) then A-C-D-E-D-C (x2) and back to E-G-A-B-A-G (x2) with a slight rhythm change during the chorus, it sounds best if you try do do each part on one string with slides and hammers i.e. -> E-G\A^B^A/G (\=slide up ^=hammer/pull-off /=slide down) ==================== Strings: E,A,D,G ==================== Riff 1: Intro/Verse G-------------------------------------|------------------------------------| D-------------------------------------|------------------------------------| A--------0--2--0-----------0--2--0----|-------0--2--0-----------0--2--0----| E--0--3-----------3--0--3-----------3-|-0--3-----------3--0--3-----------3-| Riff 2: Play after "Riff 1" in the verse G------------------------------------| D--------0--2--0-----------0--2--0---| A--0--3-----------3--0--3-----------3| E------------------------------------| Riff 3: "If you want to be a spy..."
