verse 1:
--------
The main riff uses a "chord" made up of 3 notes, built by stacking
up two intervals of a fourth. This chord/triad is played three times
in each bar, and the shape is moved down a semitone (one fret)
for the second strum, then back up for the third. You need to play
the first two chords staccato (no sustain), but leave the third to
sustain.
This basic pattern is used throughout the verse, with the position of
the "triad of fourths" moving up and down the neck. On the original,
this part is played by guitar and doubled on the clavinet.
I've written a m11 chord (in brackets) above the tab to indicate the
overall harmony for the parts of the verse that use this "triad of
fourths", but I havn't changed the chord name for each down/up shift
of a semitone as that would have made the tab too cluttered.
Note that for the other chord changes, the chord names again reflect the
overall harmony, and not only what the rhythm guitar plays.
There's a short 5-note riff that comes in during the verse in a couple
of places. This riff is:

It's played by the guitar and bass - I've indicated where it comes
with Riff at the appropriate place in the lyrics.

As above - except the rhythm guitar varies the main riff:

B--8--7--8---9--10-----8--7--8---7-8--x-x--8--7--8---9--10----8-7-8-

Use this idea throughout the verse, with ad lib rhythmic variations.
(The 5-note riff is played only by the bass in this verse, except for
the one right at the end, after "I don't mind", which is played by bass
and guitar)
