He was a hard-headed man
He was brutally handsome, and she was terminally pretty
She held him up, and he held her for ransom in the heart
of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude
They had one thing in common, they were
good in bed
She'd say, 'Faster, faster. The lights are turnin' red.
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind

The difference between the two above riffs is that the first has a break in
it (the big space) and the second is continuous.

however,if you want to play the riff with some feeling
and sound..then I suggest neither of the above are right..
This is how I do it..in the key of E! (chords of the song are E/A/B
basically)
