Here is a tab of the main riff, ive been dissapointed not seing this existing on

easy and fun to jam on :D

it was played like this mostly in the late 70s, mid 80s and 95, but any other
time they played it just a little different, like this(rapidly).

Thats basically it, this is just by ear, and it sounds right to me.
