Intro Riff and Verse Riff:

The guitarist does a lot of variations on this riff throughout this song,
but this is the basic riff. If you play this the whole way through, no one
will know the difference, but if you really feel the urge you can fill in a
bunch of extras in between and change it up a bit.

If you want, you can switch to this strumming pattern as the song picks up.

Bridge:

This is the bridge as played when picking. This can be done through the
whole song, but if you want to use the strumming pattern, as shown below,
then just use the picking for the first part of the song then switch to
strumming. If you listen to the song, you’ll know where to make the switch.
