This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Band enters
Verse- Riff 2: ( This is the main riff) (4x)
e|-----------0-------------------0-------------------------0---------------0----------------------| B|--------------0-------------------0-------------------------0---------------0-------------------| G|-------------------------------------8-----------------------------------------8---------------*| D|----------------------------9----------9--9--------------------------------------9--9----------*| A|------11-----------------9-------------------9--9/11-----------------------------------9--9/11--| E|---9------------------7-------------------------------9---------------7-------------------------|
-There's a lot of improvising in this riff. But this is the basic pattern. Stick with the B and C#
chords, and mess with the timing of the notes to get it.
Chorus- Riff 3:
(1x)
e|-------0-------------------------------------------------| B|-------0-------------------------------------------------| G|-------2*------------------------2----/6-----------------| D|---------------------------------------0-----------------| A|--0--0---------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------2-------/5*----------------|
"Anything I can do... I can do anything"
Then back to Riff 2, for the second verse.
2nd Chorus- Play Riff 3 1x
Play Riff 2 1x
Bridge- Riff 4: (at 2:28)
(4x)
e|---------0----0-0---------0-----0-0----| B|---------0----0-0---------0-----0-0----| G|---------4----4-4---------4-----4-4----| D|---------2----2-2---------4-----4-4----| A|---4---4----4-------2---2----2--2------| E|---------------------------------------|
3rd Chorus- Play Riff 3 1x
Outro- Play Riff 2 2x
There is some improvisation on Riff 2 at the end as well.
Just mess around with the riff to figure it out.
And that's it.
