Tabs

intro riff-

  E------------------------------------|
  B------------------------------------|
  G------------------------------------|
  D--5--3----------3--3-----2--2-------|
  A--------5-5-------------------------|
  E-------------3--------3---------3---| repeat

I find it easiest to use my thumb when playing the lower notes.

 (pay more attention to the rhythm and the feel than to the numbers)
  E------------------------------------------------3-|
  B------------------------------------------------3-|
  G------------------------------------------------4-|
  D-5-7--5-7---5-7--5-7---7-9--7-9--3-3-x-4-4-x-5--5-|
  A-3-3--3-3---3-3--3-3---5-5--5-5--3-3-x-4-4-x-5----|
  E---------------------------------1-1-x-2-2-x-3----|

  guitar 2(right before verse)
  E---------------------|
  B----------3--0-------|
  G---0--3b--------3----|
  D---------------------|

  verse/main riff-
  E-----------------------------------------------|

  D-------------------------5-5-7-5-7--5-5-7-5-7--|
  A---5-5-7-5-7--5-5-7-5-7--3-3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3-3--|
  E---3-3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3-3------------------------|

  E------------------------|

  D--7-7-9-7-9--3---4---5--|
  A--5-5-5-5-5--3---4---5--|
  E-------------1---2---3--| continue similar pattern

  Then there are a bunch of chords that I don't feel like figuring out right now
  and this lick right before the harmonica solo:

  E---3------------------------------|
  B---3------------------------------|
  G---4---------------------------3--|
  D---5---------------------3--5-----|
  A---5------------3--4--5-----------|
  E---3------3--6--------------------|

  After the harmonica solo the rhythm guitar goes into this riff:

  E----------------------------------------------------|
  B----------------------------------------------------|
  G-------------------------------5-0-7-5----7-5-------|
  D---5---7-7-----5---7-7----5----5-0-7-5--0-7-5-0-5-7-|
  A-0-5-0-7-7---0-5-0-7-7--0-5-0--3-0-5-3--0-5-3-0-5-7-|
  E-0-3-0-5-5---0-3-0-5-5--0-3-0-------------------3-5-|

  During this part, the other guitar plays something like this:
  E------------------------------------|
  B------------------------------------|
  G------------------------------------|
  D--------7-------------7-------------|
  A------------------------------------|
  E------------------------------------|

  Follow the tab here loosely.Just play it in rhythm and it should sound  alright:
  (Palm mute)
      bend it when it sounds appropriate
  E-----------------------------------------|
  B-----------------------------------------|
  G---5-7-7b-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7r-5-|
  D-7---------------------------------------|
  A-----------------------------------------|
  E-----------------------------------------|

  E----------------------------|
  B----------------------------|
  G-5-7-5--5-7-5-5-7-5-5-------|
  D----------------------5-7---|
  A----------------------------|
  E----------------------------|

That's all I have right now but it should get you through most of the song. As always, send all
and corrections to [email protected] Have fun with it.

Symbols used:
  x = percussive sound
  b = bend
  r = release
