 Opening Riff - Asus4, A
 
   [Asus4]            [A]  
 E------------------------------------------
 B-----------3**-------2**------------------
 G---------2------2--------2-------2--------
 D-------2----------2--------2---2---2------
 A-0**-------------------------0-------0----
 E------------------------------------------
  
   [Asus4]        [A]  
 E-------------0-----------------------------
 B-----------3---3-2-------------------------
 G---------2---------2-------------2---------
 D-------2-------------------2---2---2-------
 A-0**-------------------------0-------0-----
 E-------------------------------------------
 
 As far as I can tell, the verse just follows a simple arpeggio
 chord progression (A,C,D,C,B,A,G,F).  I don't know the actual 
 pattern, but you can try just about anything.  Here's a simple 
 example.  Let the bass notes ring throughout.
 
 [A]Wanderin down..[C]rocky road
 E------------------------------------
 B---------2-----------------5--------
 G-------2---2-------------5---5------
 D-----2-------2---------5-------5----
 A-0**-----------0---3**-----------3--
 E------------------------------------
 
 [D]Wonderin where my [C]life is [B]leading
 E------------------------------------------
 B---------7h8p7----------------------------
 G-------7-------7-----------5----------4---
 D-----7----------7--------5----------4-----
 A-5**-----------------3**--------2**-------
 E------------------------------------------
  
  [A]Rolling on    [G]to the bitter  [F]end
 E-----------------------------------------------------1---
 B---------2-------------------------------------------1---
 G-------2---2--------------4----------------2---------2---
 D-----2-------2----------5---5------------3---3-------3---
 A-0**-----------0------5-------5--------3-------3-----3---
 E------------------3**-----------3---1**----------1---1---
 
 (Actually, that B chord may be a figment of my imagination, 
 but I like it in there!)
 
 Pre-Chorus 
 
   [D]Ooohhhhhh   Oooh
  (I want you to  stay)
 E---------------------------------------------------
 B--7**------------7^^--------7**------------7^^-----
 G--7**------------7^^--------7**------------7^^-----
 D--7**------------7^^--------7**------------7^^-----
 A--5**------------5^^--------5**------------5^^-----
 E---------------------------------------------------
 My notation here is kinda strange.  You should really smack
 that D chord the first time and let it ring, then cut it off 
 the second time (staccato??)  If you listen to the record
 it'll be pretty self explanitory) 
 Play this 3 times, then, for the last time, play.....
 
 [C]todayyyyy    [D]ayyyyyyyy - you get the idea
 E-------------------------
 B--5-------------7--------
 G--5-------------7--------
 D--5-------------7--------
 A--3-------------5--------
 E-------------------------
 
 Then on to the chorus, which is just G,A,C,D
 
  [G]Rea[A]dy for love       [G][A]   Oh baby I'm
 E---------------------------------------------------
 B---------------------------------------------------
 G--4//6-----6-------6--------4//6-----6-------6-----
 D--5//7-----7-------7--------5//7-----7-------7-----
 A--5//7--7--7----7--7--------5//7--7--7----7--7-----
 E--3//5--5--5----5--5--------3//5--5--5----5--5-----
 
 [C]Rea[D]dy for love        [C][D]                                         
 E---------------------------------------------------
 B--5//7-----7-------7--------5//7-----7-------7-----
 G--5//7-----7-------7--------5//7-----7-------7-----
 D--5//7--7--7----7--7--------5//7--7--7----7--7-----
 A--3//5--5--5----5--5--------3//5--5--5----5--5-----
 E---------------------------------------------------
 
 At the end of the chorus is a decending riff, like the verse.
 Try something like this:
   [C]     [B]    [A]     [G]       [F]        [G]
 E-----------------------------------1----------3----
 B-----------------------------------1----------3----
 G-------0------0------0-------0-----2----------4----
 D------0------0------0-------0------3----------5----
 A--3**----2**----0**----------------3----------5----
 E------------------------3**--------1----------3----
 
 That's pretty much the song.  I haven't compared it too closely
 to the album, so I'm sure there are mistakes.  But it sounds 
 good to me so it should at least provide a good start.  
 There's also plenty of room to improvise, especially during the 
 verses.  Have fun and I hope someone makes use of this!  
 Please let me know if you have anything better
