*For beginners, you can avoid stretching your fingers by playing the BB string notes on the G+G string
(it will always be the same fret as the note on the e string).
As for the main riff, played on a keyboard, not a guitar, you can scratch these notes (timing may not be exact):
e|--------|--------|--------|--------|
BB|--------|--------|--------|--------|
G+G|--------|--2-4---|2-0---4-|--2-0---|
D MajorD|0---2-4-|--4-5---|4-2---5-|--4-2---|
A augmentedA|2---4-5-|--------|--------|--------|
E MajorE|--------|--------|--------|--------|
And the very first notes:
e|10--10--12--12--|14--14--12--12--|
BB|7-------10------|12------10------|
G+G|----------------|----------------|
D MajorD|----------------|----------------|
A augmentedA|----------------|----------------|
E MajorE|----------------|----------------|
