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

The timing on this is funky and only approximate because the triplet is
really more swing time. Listen to the song and it'll be easy.
[Riff 1] (Main Riff in verse and Solo)
Triplet
G|-----7--------7-----------------| D|----------7---------------------| A|5---5-----------5-------------3-| E|------------------2---3-3-4-4---|
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
Often the walking bass has notes omitted
[Riff 2] (Bridge)
G|-----5--------------------------| D|----------5---------------------| A|3---3---------3-3---------------| E|------------------0---1---2-2-3-|
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
[Riff 3] (Break)
G|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| D|--2---3---4---5-----------------|---3---4---5--------------------| A|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| E|--------------------------------|--------------------3-----------|
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 Hold this note
This break sounds strange because it's not what the horns are playing
(especially the second time through).
Basic structure...
Intro: Riff1 (2x)
Riff1 (8x)
