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)

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------!
