Strumming pattern note: The riff begins with a lead in of three 16th notes so that beat 2 in the pattern above is really beat 1, then apart from the one lead in beat the riff is composed of a bar of 4/4 and a bar of 5/8. Play an A5 chord with a downstroke just before beat 8, then play another one at the beginning of a new bar and hold until the next occurrence of the riff; generally, though not always, for two bars of 4/4, followed by the lead in to the riff again.
