If the key is taken to be D-flat minor, then the first chord is E-flat major. The opening figure has the bass playing
D !!Eb Eb ( = 1 beat )
15 times, and a one beat slide from some higher note down to Db. One guitar part appears to be just Bb notes.
Bb__Bb Bb__Bb Bb__Bb Bb__Bb ( = 4 beats ) x 4
while the other guitar plays
[ D !!Eb Eb ( = 1 beat ) ] x 8 [ F# !!G G ( = 1 beat ) ] x 8
The next figure is simply
[ Dbm _ _ _ | Dbm Cm ] x 3 [ [ D !!Eb Eb ( = 1 beat ) ] x 4 [ F# !!G G ( = 1 beat ) ] x 4
The first verse starts at this time.
NOTES: An underline __ means to hold the note for a beat. !! means a hammer-on to a higher note (or a pull-off to a lower note, but all !! in the above are hammer-ons).
