This is a fun song to play, especially if you can master the riff.
It comes in at the intro, after the bass and horns, and pretty much continues for the whole song.
For a simplified version, just replace with chords: Am (4 bars) D (2 bars) Am (2 bars)
If you want to play it true to the studio version, play this riff on the lines in the verses which start:
"And my heart..." & "But just as black...", strum slowly down the Em & D chords & back to normal at Dsus4.
[Intro]
6 bars drums and bass, then:

[Verse]
AmWell just the other night I come home
AmAfter three months of constant grind and travel
EmAnd I went sniveling, I went Dcrawling around to my girlfriend's housDsus4eD  
AmAnd she came down hard upon me
AmAnd she ground her finger into my breastbone, EmAnd she said
DShe said: Am"You don't make me feel... like I'm a woman... anymore
EmAnd you don't make me feel like I'm a Dwoman any morDsus4eD  
AmN.C.
You don't make me feel like I'm a woman any more
AmAnd I know, I know it's been a long time
EmSeems like it's been Dgo-ing on foreverDsus4  D  
And my Amheart, my heart is beating too big
It's Embeating too big for the Dspace that's meant to hold itDsus4  D  
[Chorus]
So good-Amnight, goodnight my little lovely
As we Gturn, as we turn down the Amlights
Say Amgood-bye, goodbye to the naked truth
Your Gskin is looking weary and your Ameyes are closing down on the day
[Instrumental]
