Red Mosquito

A couple of people have said they’ve seen PJ play this live and
it’s in standard tuning. I’ve also been told that the opening riff
is played at the 5th fret so I’ve tried to figure it out there,
I hope it sounds OK.
Anyone want to have a go at the solos?

Intro riff x 8
Verse 1:
Watched out the window with a red mosquito
I was not allowed to leave the room
I saw the sun go down and now it’s coming up
Somewhere in the time between
Chorus:
I was bitten
must have been the devil
He was just paying me
A little visit
Reminded me of his presense
Letting me know
He’s waiting
Intro riff x4
Verse 2:
Red man’s your neighbor call it behavior
While you’re climbing up slippery hills
Two steps ahead of him punctures in your neck
hovering just above your bed hovering just above your bed
Chorus
Intro riff x 8
Chorus riff (first bar only) x 8 out
