With similar slide playing over that

Riff 2 with a Chord diagramBB chord stuck in there.

Riff 1

More verses, then a solo rooted at(I think) the 7th fret

Some jamming, an outro with Riff 2.

Then it comes back in with something like:

e: |-------------------

g: |-7h9-9-11-9-9---7h9
d: |-------------7h9---

e: |-------------------

Toy around with that.  Fun song, huh?
