The verse riff,upon which most of the song is built, is very similar in
structure to the intro. The only difference is the beginning and the end. In
other words, it's just this over and over again:

Back when Cain was able way before the stable
Lightning struck right down from the sky
At this point, the guitar plays this:

A mothership with faith said "Let's give it a try"(rhy.fig 1)
A
Conscience was related
Man, he was created
Lady Luck took him by surprise(rhy.fig.2)
E
Her sweet and bitter fruit it surely opened his eyes
chorus-
D
Well, she ate it
F
Lordy it was love at first bite(rhy.fig 1)
D
Well she ate it
G F#m E
Never knowin' wrong from right right right
The chord progression is pretty much the same until the end. The rest of the
lyrics go like this:
Even Eve in Eden
voices tried deceivin' with lies to show the lady the way
At first she stopped and turned and tried to walk away
Man, he was believer
Lady was deceiver so the story goes, but you see
The snake was he and she just climbed right up his tree
So...(go into chorus)
Science was related
man, he was created when Lady Luck took him by surprise
Her sweet and bitter fruit it surely opened his eyes
Evil came like rain an' who knows who's to blame an'
Somethin' tried to lay her to waste
and all she'd want to need was just a little taste
(chorus)
End on a variation of rhy.fig. 1 and throw the E chord in over "that's
right!" That's basically it. It should be pretty accurate because it's
similar if not identical to the way that Joe Perry played it in a
