This riff lasts through the rest of the song. It has one
variation, which uses more of the open E string, but the same chords.
Note: I play all the chords of Fig.6 with the root on the E
string because of the sliding of the last chord in the sequence (B in
first; C in second), especially the last chord of the song.
