This is only the main riff.. Pretty groovy if you get the rhythm right.
If you know the rest, drop me a line.

Here is my take on this cool bluesy riff. I think it is more accurate. Got too lazy to post the end part,
but you should be able to figure it out from here:

G-----------7-----------------5----------------2----2----2-----------------
D-----------6-----------------4----------------1----1----0-----------------
A-----------7------------0---------0----2-----2----2----1-----------------
E-----0------------0--------------------------------------------------------- play riff x 3
There really isn’t any need for bloodshed
You just do it with a little more finesse
If you can slip a tablet into someone’s coffee
E------------------------------9------------------------------------------------
B------10-----10----10------------10-------3-----3------3------3-----3----
G------9-------9------9----------------------2-----2------2------2-----2----
D------8-------8------8----------------------1-----1------1------1-----1----

E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess

It’s murder by numbers, 1…2…3
It’s as easy to learn as your A…B…C’s

please note that when I pasted in my tab above, on the first line the A string was shifted left on those
last 3 chords...all 4 notes are played together. Same idea on the 2nd line of tab where the B string was
shifted left for the last 5 chords, and the 4th line of tab where the A string shifted right on the last 5
chords. Sorry about the crappy spacing!!!
