The main RIFF used throughout the song is:
The timing is difficult to show on this, but if you listen to the intro
you
can figure it out. Basically play a few D's, then C#'s, then almost
repeat
the pattern but quickly come back for a Dinstead of the last C#.
The little filler notes (FILL) are just a little "tickling" of the first
two strings (e and B) held at the 8th fret (just mash down your third
finger
which should be on the 8th fret from playing the Danyway).
FILL
Well my eyelids said four-thirty
FILL
and the radio clock said six
RIFF
and I was thinking up a reasonable excuse
FILL
I might have slept til yesterday
FILL
but in the shape I'm in
RIFF
what's twenty-four hours more or less to lose
I've burned up letters and I've burned up souvenirs
And left no traces Lord that I was ever here
RIFF
And I won't be Louisiana lowdown and blue
FILL
I saw a stranger smiling at me yesterday
FILL
And it scared me almost half to death
FILL
I wanted to hide I wanted to run away from her
