After you played this two riffs you can go over in progression with
the Em,C,D,G chords along with the harmonica. Do that 3 times and play
the first piece of the intro tab:
      
           Em7        D             Em    
  
e |--------0---0---0---0---0---0---0-|-2---(2)---2---0-----------------|
B |--------3---3---3---3---3---3---3-|-3---(3)---3---0-----------------|
G |--------0---0---0---0---0---0---0-|-2---(2)---2---0-----------------|
D |--------2---2---2---2---2---2---2-|-0---(0)---0---2------------0h2--|
A |--------2---2---2---2---2---2---2-|---------------2-------0h2---h2--|
E |--0-----0---0---0---0---0---0---0-|---------------0-----------------|

This is an examples of how you can eventually play the verses:
Play the chorus in the rhytm like the intro.

           Em       C                D             G

e |----------------0---0--(0)-----|------2---(0)--3---3---(0)-------|
B |----------------1---1--(0)-----|------3---(0)--0---0---(0)-------|
G |---------0------0---0--(0)-----|--2---2---(0)--0---0---(0)-------|
D |---------2------2---2----------|------0--------0---0-------------|
A |-------2---0----3---3----------|-0-------------2---2-------------|
E |---0---------------------------|---------------3---3-------------|

This is the riff Neil plays while singing the last verse:
"And I'm getting old".
