The timing on this is funky and only approximate because the triplet is really more swing time. Listen to the song and it'll be easy. Riff 1 (Main Riff in verse and Solo) Triplet G -----7--------7-----------------| D ----------7---------------------| A 5---5-----------5-------------3-| E ------------------2---3-3-4-4---| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 Often the walking bass has notes omitted Riff 2 (Bridge) G -----5--------------------------| D ----------5---------------------| A 3---3---------3-3---------------| E ------------------0---1---2-2-3-| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 Riff 3 (Break) G --------------------------------|--------------------------------| D --2---3---4---5-----------------|---3---4---5--------------------| A --------------------------------|--------------------------------| E --------------------------------|--------------------3-----------| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 Hold this note This break sounds strange because it's not what the horns are playing (especially the second time through).
