the rhythm may be off. probably is actually. anyways. . .that’s the main riff at the begining.
also, there’s that descending part he does after the riff in the begining it’s just F to E to G. the thing
this song is you can’s really play it wrong. just jam it out. i usually plat octaves on the 6 and 4
you’ll figure it out.
the chorus is like this
Can ya sting meeeeeeetc. . .

the just before the solo, vamp a little bit in G using a dominant seventh and a flatted third (F and Bflat
you got lost for a second there)
then the solo is just the chorus progression.
and that very funky riff under that next verse (oooh c’mon my sweet little thang. . .) is like this. . .
