Sometimes the last bar of this riff is played as:
 
             1/4
G||------------------------||
D||----------3b----3--1----||
A||--1----1----------------||
E||------------------------||
 
 
Last line of the verse + bridge before the chorus:
 
G||------------------------|-------------------------||
D||------------------------|-------------------------||
A||--3---3-3--3---------3--|--3---3-3-3-3---------3--||
E||------------------------|-------------------------||
 
 
G||------------------------|-------------------------||
D||------------------------|-------------------------||
A||--1---1-1--1---------1--|--1---1-1-1-1---------1--||
E||------------------------|-------------------------||
 
 
G||----------------------------------||
D||----------------------------------||
A||--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-||
E||----------------------------------||
 
 
Chorus:
 
G||----------------------------------|----------------------------------||
D||------------------1-1-1-1---------|------------------1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-||
A||--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---------1-1-1-1-|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------||
E||----------------------------------|----------------------------------||
 
 
G||----------------------------------|----------------------------------||
D||--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5-|----------------------------------||
A||----------------------------------|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-||
E||----------------------------------|----------------------------------||
 
 
Then repeat verse. After verse comes something like that:
 
G||----------------------------------||
D||----------------------------------||
A||--3--3-3-3-3-3---3---3-3----------||
E||----------------------------------||
 
Then the verse riff is repeated, but the chord progression changes to:
 
G||-----|-----|-----|-----||
D||-----|-----|-----|-----||
A||--3--|-----|--1--|-----||
E||-----|--4--|-----|--1--||
 
While guitar solo repeat chorus riff as many times as needed.
