  Well, this is by no means complete TAB, but it's such fun just to play the intro that I figured I'd post it. Keith probably used some wierd tuning and played it completely different!  You might have to do some muting on that funny chord.
  Also, I have no idea what the "real" key is on the record.

  Opening riff:
 
  -|-----------------5--5-----------------------------------------------
  -|-----------------8--8-----------------------------------------------
  -|-----------------7--7-----------------------------------------------
  -|-----------------5--5--7--7--7--9--9--7--7--9-----------------------
  -|--7--7--7--9--7--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-----------------------
  -|--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-----------------------------------------------
 
 
 
 
 
  In the meantime, here's some other chords to try on that song.
  Hope you like them...

  *This '9' is sometimes a '5' on the live version.
 
  -|-----x---x-----------------------------------------------
  -|----14--12---7---5---------------------------------------
  -|----14--14---7---5---------------------------------------
  -|----14--14---7---5---------------------------------------

  -|----xx--xx----------5---5---5---5--5----5----5---5-------
 
  The 'A' chord (you're playing the 1-5-8 version with no 3rd --
  not major or minor) is actually two chords, a suspension that
  resolves to the major -- played at the 12th fret (drag).
 
  Once it gets to the break, there's the two chord da Daahh da Daahh
  stuff... those chords are
 
  ------------------
  ------7-----------
  ------7------5h6--          (Do various riffs here)
  ------7------5----
  ---7--5---7--7----
  ---5--5---5--5----
 
  The 5'th fret on the D string is a min 7 interval making the
  major a dominant 7.  The 5h6 is a hammer-on (gives it that
  bluesy feel).
