As far as I can tell, the verse just
 follows a simple arpeggio
chord progression (A,C,D,C,B,A,G,F).
  I don't know the actual
pattern, but you can try just about 
anything.  Here's a simple
example.  Let the bass notes ring 
throughout.

[A]Wanderin down..[C]rocky road
E---------------------------------
B---------2-----------------5-----
G-------2---2-------------5---5---
D-----2-------2---------5-------5-
A-0**-----------0---3**-----------
E---------------------------------

E|---| 
B|---| 
G|---| 
D|---| 
A|3--| 
E|---| 


[D]Wonderin where my [C]life is [B]leading

E--------------------------------
B---------7h8p7------------------
G-------7-------7-----------5----
D-----7----------7--------5------
A-5**-----------------3**--------
E--------------------------------

E|----------| 
B|----------| 
G|------4---| 
D|----4-----| 
A|2**-------| 
E|----------| 


 [A]Rolling on    [G]to the bitter  [F]end

E--------------------------------
B---------2----------------------
G-------2---2--------------4-----
D-----2-------2----------5---5---
A-0**-----------0------5-------5-
E------------------3**-----------

E|---------------------1---| 
B|---------------------1---| 
G|-----------2---------2---| 
D|---------3---3-------3---| 
A|-------3-------3-----3---| 
E|3---1**----------1---1---| 

(Actually, that B chord may be a 
figment of my imagination,
but I like it in there!)

Pre-Chorus

  [D]Ooohhhhhh   Oooh
 (I want you to  stay)

E---------------------------------
B--7**------------7^^--------7**--
G--7**------------7^^--------7**--
D--7**------------7^^--------7**--
A--5**------------5^^--------5**--
E---------------------------------

E|------------------| 
B|----------7^^-----| 
G|----------7^^-----| 
D|----------7^^-----| 
A|----------5^^-----| 
E|------------------| 

My notation here is kinda strange.  
You should really smack
that D chord the first time and let 
it ring, then cut it off
the second time (staccato??)  If you
 listen to the record
it'll be pretty self explanitory)
Play this 3 times, then, for the 
last time, play.....

[C]todayyyyy    [D]ayyyyyyyy - you get the idea

E-------------------------| 
B--5-------------7--------| 
G--5-------------7--------| 
D--5-------------7--------| 
A--3-------------5--------| 
E-------------------------| 

Then on to the chorus, which is just
 G,A,C,D

 [G]Rea[A]dy for love       [G][A]   Oh baby I'm

E---------------------------------
B---------------------------------
G--4//6-----6-------6--------4//6-
D--5//7-----7-------7--------5//7-
A--5//7--7--7----7--7--------5//7-
E--3//5--5--5----5--5--------3//5-

E|------------------| 
B|------------------| 
G|----6-------6-----| 
D|----7-------7-----| 
A|-7--7----7--7-----| 
E|-5--5----5--5-----| 


[C]Rea[D]dy for love        [C][D]

E---------------------------------
B--5//7-----7-------7--------5//7-
G--5//7-----7-------7--------5//7-
D--5//7--7--7----7--7--------5//7-
A--3//5--5--5----5--5--------3//5-
E---------------------------------

E|------------------| 
B|----7-------7-----| 
G|----7-------7-----| 
D|-7--7----7--7-----| 
A|-5--5----5--5-----| 
E|------------------| 

At the end of the chorus is a 
decending riff, like the verse.
Try something like this:

  [C]     [B]    [A]     [G]       [F]      
E---------------------------------
B---------------------------------
G-------0------0------0-------0---
D------0------0------0-------0----
A--3**----2**----0**--------------
E------------------------3**------
    [G]
E|--1----------3----| 
B|--1----------3----| 
G|--2----------4----| 
D|--3----------5----| 
A|--3----------5----| 
E|--1----------3----| 

That's pretty much the song.  I 
haven't compared it too closely
to the album, so I'm sure there are 
mistakes.  But it sounds
good to me so it should at least 
provide a good start.
There's also plenty of room to 
improvise, especially during the
verses.  Have fun and I hope someone
 makes use of this!
Please let me know if you have 
anything better
