notes:
1. note the thumb picks both the bottom two strings; top string
could be ring or little finger. probably easiest in the main riff
if the index finger frets the D string - the 02 hammer at the
end of the first bar can still be done with the middle finger.
2. the pattern of notes on the middle two strings in the 2nd bit
varies quite a bit. Above is as played the first time it occurs:
but it's quite tricky to play, so you might want to try another
variation if it's easier.
3. I find hammering on the note at * in the 1st bit makes the
picking easier and sounds OK.
4. there are occasional variations involving the top strings but
I've left these out for clarity.

5. the verse is a little simpler:
