Well here's a real rocker!  Good one to play on your own too!

Intro:

D|---7-5-------7-6-| x5 |---7-5-----5/7----|the entire riff an octave higher
A|-0---------0-----|    |-0----------------|but I won't bother with this

Intro/Main Riff:
                 Part 3

However after each the first 3 rounds of this riff you play:

E|---------|
B|---------|
G|---------|
D|-5-5-5-7~|
A|-5-5-5-7~|
E|-3-3-3-5~|

Also there a little riff slotted in betweeen the words which goes:

E|--------------|
B|-----8-10p8---|
G|-7-9--------9-|
D|--------------| Rick does something similar but I dont know where
A|--------------|
E|--------------|

A
Say you need me, say you need me
C
Tell me that you want my love
D                             A
Say you will be mine and I am yours
A
You think that you're way above me
C
I'm telling you that I can see
D                                     A
All those things that you might wanna be
E            A
I am yours tonight
E               A
You'll be mine tonight


Then the next verse is based on this.
