The timing on this is funky and only approximate because the triplet is
really more swing time. Listen to the song and it'll be easy.
Riff 1 (Main Riff in verse and Solo)
Triplet
G —————7————————7—————————————————|
D ——————————7—————————————————————|
A 5———5———————————5—————————————3—|
E ——————————————————2———3—3—4—4———|
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
Often the walking bass has notes omitted
Riff 2 (Bridge)
G —————5——————————————————————————|
D ——————————5—————————————————————|
A 3———3—————————3—3———————————————|
E ——————————————————0———1———2—2—3—|
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
Riff 3 (Break)
G ————————————————————————————————|————————————————————————————————|
D ——2———3———4———5—————————————————|———3———4———5————————————————————|
A ————————————————————————————————|————————————————————————————————|
E ————————————————————————————————|————————————————————3———————————|
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 Hold this note
This break sounds strange because it's not what the horns are playing
(especially the second time through).
Basic structure...
Intro: Riff1 (2x)
Riff1 (8x)
