I noticed that the other tab isn't quite how it's played really, although it's still a
good version. I saw him in Stoke a while back and have only just worked out the whole
thing... so... I hope you like it.

Riff 1:
Dsus2 -> E1? -> E2? - E3?
Riff 2:
Badd11 -> Dadd9 -> Dadd9?
Note: for the Riff 1, you go from the D, pull off to a Dsus2 for one strum, then straight
up to the E1? This takes a little bit of getting used to, but once you've got the pattern
it's really easy.
Intro - Riff 1, but miss out the first Dsus2
