I found your picture today, I swear I'll change my ways
RE DO SOL
I just called to say I want you, to come back home

for the "bending" part:
Bend to a B and before "unbending", hit the B string (also being bent
to a D note[this is done simultaneously when you bend the B sting]) and
then "unbend" the B string.
"Em Riff":
The tab is easy, but once you get the rhythm right, it sounds just like it.
Also, this basically how I would tab it, but it sounds like they play it a bit
sloppier. In between each hammer on, rest your hand on the strings to deaden them.
