..and back to beginning of riff...

This repeats throughout the song. There are subtle variations that
you will figure out as you learn it. Below are the
chords...IMPORTANT NOTE: The G to C/G progression is easiest if you
learn to do the normal G chord without your index finger (i.e. use
your middle, ring and pinky fingers to form G = 32ooo3). From that
position, use your middle and ring fingers and place them according
to the C/G chord (C/G = 3x2o13. Practice hammering on and pulling
off with those two fingers on those two strings...

G = 32ooo3
C/G = 3x2o13
Am = xo221o
Am9/G = 3x22oo
G/D = xxooox
C = 332o1o
G/B = x2ooox
Bm/F# = 224432
G(Bar) = 355433
