[Chords and riff]
These chords are not played on the original recording, and the riff sounds
an octave higher, but if one plays alone, this might be a way of incorporating 
the riff into your accompaniment:
  E           E6 Asus4         A              E        E6 D/A            A

  (plays easily and                         (maybe closer to the acoustic guitar  
   highlights the riff itself)               on the recording, which actually plays D
                                             but detracts a little from the riff)
If you play in a band, so the riff and bass functions are covered and you only 
need to play the acoustic part, then this might help:
