(x = Left-hand-muted percussive note)

This is played four times as an intro (drums come in the second time, and 
harmonica and Hammond come in the third time). Although the chords for the 
links between the verses are different, I think the riff is played over these 
as well. It's kind of hard to tell what the guitar is doing after the intro, 
since it disappears in the mix.
