    The opening riff is :

    1|            |         |
    2|            |  0       |
    3|            |   0 0 0 0 0 0 |
    4|            | 5  5 5 4 2 0 |
    5|       2 0  2 3 |         |
    6| 0  0 2 3      |         |

    Finger:  1 2 1   1 2  2  2 2 1 1

    I find a slide up to the 5th fret with the second finger, and a fast
    slide back down from the 4th to the 2nd with the first finger, makes
    the second part more fluid, so I gave my fingering here as well.

    This riff is repeated for the intro, and the second half of it
    replaces the D/F# on the second and/or fourth line of some of the the
    verses.

    The chorus riff is :

    1|                 |
    2|                 |
    3|                 |
    4|  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0 |
    5| 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 0 0 2 2 0 0 |
    6| 0  2  3  2  0  2  3  3  |

    (repeat as needed)

    One set of verses that seems to work (I got several) is :

    Life And How To Live It
    =======================


    The intro slides between 2 chord positions, and you mainly pick
    on the B,G, and D strings :

      (C)*********  (D)**********
    E-----3-------- ! -----5-------!
    B-----3-(5)-----! -----5-(7)---!
    G-----5---------! -----7-------!
    D-----5---------! -----7-------!
    A---------------! -------------!
    E---------------! -------------!

    Through the rest of the song, it's almost all more C and D chords,
    played in various ways, (mostly) on the top 4 strings. (There's one
    F chord in there somewhere too.)

        (C)-------->(D)          (C)---------->(D)
    E-----8-------- ! -----10------!   !--8---------!------10-----!
    B-----5---------! -----7-------!   !--8---------!------10-----!
    G-----5---------! -----7-------!   !--9---------!------12-----!
    D-----5---------! -----7-------!   !------------!-------------!
    A---------------! -------------!   !------------!-------------!
    E---------------! -------------!   !------------! ------------!

        (C)-------->(D)          (C)---------->(D)
    E-----3-------- ! -----5-------!   !---0--------!------0------!
    B-----5---------! -----7-------!   !---5--------!------7------!
    G-----5---------! -----7-------!   !---5--------!------7------!
    D-----5---------! -----7-------!   !---5--------!------7------!
