The main RIFF used throughout the song is:

 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).

Verses

  FILL

Well my eyelids said four-thirty

  FILL

and the radio clock said six

  RIFF

and I was thinking up a reasonable excuse

  FILL

I might have slept til yesterday

  FILL

but in the shape I'm in

  RIFF

what's twenty-four hours more or less to lose

Chorus

 I've burned up letters and I've burned up souvenirs

 And left no traces Lord that I was ever here

  RIFF

And I won't be Louisiana lowdown and blue

Bridge

  FILL

I saw a stranger smiling at me yesterday

  FILL

And it scared me almost half to death

  FILL

I wanted to hide I wanted to run away from her
