       The opening riff is :

       1|                       |                 |
       2|                       |   0             |
       3|                       |     0 0 0 0 0 0 |
       4|                       | 5    5 5 4 2 0  |
       5|             2 0   2 3 |                 |
       6|  0    0 2 3           |                 |
       
       Finger:    1 2 1     1 2   2    2 2 1 1
       
       I find a slide up to the 5th fret with the second finger, and a fast 
       slide back down from the 4th to the 2nd with the first finger, makes
       the second part more fluid, so I gave my fingering here as well.
       
       This riff is repeated for the intro, and the second half of it
       replaces the D/F# on the second and/or fourth line of some of the the
       verses.
       
       The chorus riff is :
       
       1|                                  |
       2|                                  |
       3|                                  |
       4|   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0  |
       5|  2 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 0 0 2 2 0 0 |
       6| 0   2   3   2   0   2   3   3    |
       
       (repeat as needed)
       
       One set of verses that seems to work (I got several) is :

       Life And How To Live It
       =======================

       
       The intro slides between 2 chord positions, and you mainly pick
       on the B,G, and D strings :
       
           (C)*********    (D)**********
       E-----3-------- ! -----5-------!
       B-----3-(5)-----! -----5-(7)---!
       G-----5---------! -----7-------!
       D-----5---------! -----7-------!
       A---------------! -------------!
       E---------------! -------------!
       
       Through the rest of the song, it's almost all more C and D chords,
       played in various ways, (mostly) on the top 4 strings.  (There's one
       F chord in there somewhere too.)
       
               (C)-------->(D)                    (C)---------->(D)
       E-----8-------- ! -----10------!      !--8---------!------10-----!
       B-----5---------! -----7-------!      !--8---------!------10-----!
       G-----5---------! -----7-------!      !--9---------!------12-----!
       D-----5---------! -----7-------!      !------------!-------------!
       A---------------! -------------!      !------------!-------------!
       E---------------! -------------!      !------------! ------------!
