I've seen numerous arrangements for this song, which is quite tricky to play in the original key of B. Here I used a few tricks to completely avoid barre chords. Firsly the song is shifted up a semitone to C. Next, we substitute Bb6 for Bb throughout the song, and Am7 for Am in the riff. This makes the riff easy to play, since its really only two chords Bb6 and Dm, and we hit the open strings (Am7) in between.
