G=320030 C(C9?)=x32030 D=xx0232 A=x02220 E=022100
The main driving riff is just G-D-C-G, each (I guess) one measure:
GGGGG,DDDDD,CCCCCC,GGGGGG
The 3 notes in the verses are the 5,4,3 strings held in a G chord:
G|-------0-
D|----0----
A|-2-------
E|---------
(play twice each line of the verses)
The bridge is just the same riff, changing keys, so it becomes:
AAAAA,EEEEE,DDDDD,AAAAA
This song is really very simple, and only uses G, C, D, and Em. However,
they use a cheating C (C9?) and put the 3rd finger on the 2nd string, not
the first, for the G.
G = 320030 C=032030 D=000232 Em=022000
Actually, it sounds fine if you leave the same third finger planted for
the Em, so it's 022030...this way, the 3rd finger stays planted the whole
song.

The main RIFF used throughout the song is:
MIb MIb DO# DO# DO# DO# MIb MIb DO# DO# DO# MIb
The timing is difficult to show on this, but if you listen to the intro
you can figure it out. Basically play a few D#'s, then C#'s, then almost
repeat the pattern but quickly come back for a D# instead of the last C#.
The little filler notes (FILL) are just a little "tickling" of the first
two strings (e and B) held at the 8th fret (just mash down your third
finger which should be on the 8th fret from playing the D# anyway).
