Riff 2:
To me, it sounds like riff 2 is part of the bass line, but for playing solo acoustic, it
pretty good to add it in.

Chorus:

[F]Once in a while?
Play (Riff 1) x2

Verse 1:
Am G D/F# (Riff 2)
Don't go to the otherside
Am G D/F# (Riff 2)
For nothin' at all
Am G D/F# (Riff 2)

Play:
(Riff 1 and Solo) x4

(Since I'm not one for doing exactly the same solo, I'd just pull out a slide and go
in A Blues or something. Whatever floats your boat. He does use a slide though, for just
every solo/interlude in the song.)
Bridge:
The chords here are strummed once, and where the chord is in parenthesis, it is implied,
it's not actually played, but it's tonality is there.
[Am] Don't go to the [D/F#]other side
[Am] Just get down on your [(D/F#)]knees

[(Am)] I'm begging you [(D/F#)]please
