I've seen about 20 requests for this the last month or two, and no one
more knowledgeable than I has stepped forth. So, given that I know
exactly two of the riffs, I will do my best at filling this void...

This is the main riff. The syncopation is pretty funky, so the time
markings below the staff are intentionally vague.

I think I've got all the notes right here -- this is from memory,
though,
so there could be a few errors.
Most of the main riffs are done on the keyboard (in both the Edgar
Winter
and TMBG versions, I think -- I've only had the pleasure of seeing the
latter up close), so these guitar arrangements aren't what the bands are
playing.
This post contains the complete lyrics to the song. Can you find them?
Additional Sections by Mike Sirulnick
The first part is the jazzy sax section. It gave me fits for years, but

This part gets a bit abstract with only one instrument, but still locks
right in when you play along with the CD:

Here's the run-up at the end of the sax section:

And finally, the guitar riff right after the sax section. Not too hard
to learn by ear, but I figured I'd throw it in anyway:
--------------------------|-------------------3-
