There are only three real riffs that you need to know to play this song at 
it's simplest, easiest and I think, best.

Riff 1 is basically played throughout the whole song; Riff 2 is played a few 
times and Riff 3 is played on the break down/fade out. It's really simple 
once you listen carefully to when each riff is played.

Just remember to swing Riff 1 a little and watch for the timing. If you've 
got an ear for music it's no problem. Happy Playing!

I find this to be much easier and much more practical to play.
