This strumming (riff 1, guitar 1) goes on in the background pretty much
for the whole song (except the Eb D G 'chorus' bit). Over the top of it
alternates between guitar 2 playing riff 2 and guitar 3 playing riff 1

I dreamed about Ray Charles last night
[riff 2]
and he could see just fine you know
[riff1]
I asked him for a lullaby
[riff 2]
he said honey I don't sing no more
no more Ray don't sing no more
[riff2]
[riff1]
he said since I got my eyesight back
my voice has just deserted me
no georgia on my mind no more
[riff2]
[riff2]
[riff1]
then Ray took his glasses off
and I could look inside his head
flashing like a thunderstorm
[riff2]
I saw a shining spider web
spider D#weDb spider weGb
spider web in Ray Charles' head
[riff2]

I dreamed about Ray Charles last night
[riff2]
he took me flying in the air
[riff1]
he showed me my own spider web
[riff2]
and said honey you had best take care
[riff1]
the world is made of spider webs
their threads are stuck to me and you
be careful what you're wishing for
[riff2]
coz when you gain you just might lose

Most of the strumming is done on the top four strings only
| | | | | | so for everything except the 'chorus'
|_|_|_|_1_1 (Eb D G bit), just move this shape
x x 5 4 3 3 - G } in riff1
x x 13 12 11 11 - Eb } in break
11 13 13 12 x x - Eb } (or xx5343)
10 12 12 11 x x - D } in chorus (or xx0232)
7pb(8)r7 is fret at 7, pre-bend to 8 then pick and release bend
--x---- is strum but mute the strings at the neck
there's still something not quite right with this, any improvements
