1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . recording.
Notes:
* `^' means downstroke, `h' means hammer-on.
* In the 4th bar of this section, the 3rd beat and it's half-beat can
either be played using the hammer-on to the treble note as shown above
(in which case the chord on the 3rd beat becomes Dsus2), which is one
of my personal favourite colourings, or the normal D fingering can be
retained, with a downstroke on the 3rd beat and an upstroke on the
following half-beat.
* Don't worry unduly about playing only those strings shown in the tabs
when doing downstrokes with your plectrum or thumb. In particular the
C chord strums are shown with the treble-E string not played, but this
isn't always easy to get right, so don't worry, be happy :-)
* A reasonably flexible but reasonably firm pick/plectrum is best if you
want to do this riff (IMHO).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. If you are playing solo, then the most important thing is to keep up
the rhythm and chords, so you can forget the lead guitar solo parts.
I like to use the last 4 bars of the OPTIONAL RHYTHM PART FOR RIFF A
as my intro, and obviously stick to the RIFF A after the first verse,
using it again after the second verse, where the recording has RIFF B.
In place of the OUTRO, I just strum the chords of the rhythm guitar
part, allowing the words (person... person... person... yeay) to hold
the flow of the ending, and then finish with a flourish.
2. As always, learn the rhythm of the song from the recording.
3. Enjoy!
