This is just a better way to play the opening part.

r=rest

--------------------------|------------------------------|--------------------|
-------3p0--6h5--0--5--0--|--0--------3p0--6h5--0--5-0---|--------------------|
----0--3p0--6h5--0--5--0--|--0-----0--3p0--6h5--0--5-0---|--------------------|
-3-----3p0--6h5--0--5--0--|--0--3-----3p0--6h5--0--5-0---|--------------------|
--------------------------|------------------------------|--------------------|
--------------------------|------------------------------|--------------------|
 It starts out like this   then goes into this. Just keep repeating.

-----3---------3------------------------------------------------------|-------|
-5b-----r--5b-----5-5h3-----------------1--------1--------------------|-------|
------------------5-5h3--------------0--------0-----------------------|-------|
-------------------------5--5--r--3--------2--------------------------|-------|
----------------------------------------------------1-----1-----1-----|-------|
-------------------------------------------------------3-----3-----3v-|-------|
 Then the main part goes like this. 

 THE BLACK CROWES
STING ME


well, for starters it's in open G (surprised?)
lemme see here. . .

----------------------------------|
-----------------------1-0--0-1---|
-----------3^0---6s5-0-0-0--0-0---|
----3^5----------------2-0--0-2---|
---------0-----0------------------|

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. . .

-0-----3------5------------|
-0-----3------6------------|
-0-----3------5------------|
-0-----3------7------------|
-0-----3------5------------|
---------------------------|

right to my rotten bones

---5---5--5----5------0------|
---5---5--5----5------0------|
---5---5--5----5------0------|
---5---5--5----5------0------|
---5---5--5----5------0------|
-----------------------------|


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. . .

---------------------|
---3^----------------|
---3^----------------|
-------5-3-5-3-5-----|
---------------------|
---------------------|

oh yeah, i forgot about this part before, sorry.

i don't mean to sound bitter. . .

-5------5-------------0--------|
-6------5-------------0--------|
-5------5-------------0--------|
-7------5-------------0--------|
-5------5-------------0--------|
-------------------------------|

that should be it. hope it helps! good luck
