TAB Request: Freak of Nature

[JeremyEngle]

Hello, guitar heroes!

I've been playing "Freak of Nature" for several months now, thinking I had it all figured out, but I just listened to the "studio" version and realized I'm a little off. Can one of you geniuses help me out? I think it's a fairly simple song to master, and one that's more easily transcribed if you follow along with the bare-bones demo (you can pick out Liz's actual riffage on that one). Anyone up to the task?

In case you're wondering, I'd been playing it like this, approximately:

Dm
Don't it please you, daddy?
G
Don't it feel good?

C           F
Well I always say
Dm                G
That's enough reason not to
F*           G
Call it a freak

C            (+ riff)  F (x2)
Of nature

(2nd verse, same as the first)

Bridge:
D                        G
Man, if you got a one-in-a-million girl
D                 G
Don't let her get away
D                              G
'Cause the next one-in-a-million girl
D               G
Is a million girls away
D                 G
So get up off your ass, Daddy
D                   G
and call me on the phone
D                                 G
'Cause I'm sitting here waiting for you to ask me
D             G
To be your one and only
              A
This isn't lonely, just serious

Dm   
Don't you want you to, Daddy?
G
Don't you need it?
C         F
Well I always say
Dm          G
That's enough reason
F*            G
Not to call it a freak

C (+ riff)     F* (x3)
Of nature

F + riff, end on C/G

Here are the chord voicings I prefer:

 Dm    G     C    F    D   A   F*
|-5---x/0----x----x----0---x---x
|-6----0-----5----10---7---2---x
|-7----4-----5----10---7---2---2
|-0----5-----5----10---0---2---3
|-x----5-----3----8----x---0---3
|-x----3-----3----x----x---x---1

C (+ riff)          F*
|---x---------------x
|---5---------------x
|---5---------------2
|---5---------------3
|---3---3--3--------3
|---3---3--5--0-----1

end riff
|--x-----------
|--x-----------
|--2-----2/3/2------x
|--3-------3--------2
|--3-------3--------3
|--1-------1--------3

Wow, my tabbing skills haven't gotten even worse. Please help!

This is what I got from listening to the demo.

Verse:
Dm
Don't it please you, daddy?
G
Don't it feel good?
C             F*
Well I always say
G*            F*
That's enough reason not to
F         G
Call it a freak
C          (+ riff)  F (x2)
Of nature

 Dm    G     C    G*   F*   F
|-0---x/0----x----x----x----x--
|-6----0-----5----12---10---x--
|-5----4-----5----12---10---2--
|-0----5-----5----12---10---3--
|-x----5-----3----10---8----3--
|-x----3-----3----10---8----1--

Concerning your riff, I don't really hear the open E.

As for the chorus, I think the D chord is 55777x, and I'm not sure if I'm hearing a riff similar to aforementioned one at the end of the verses. Tell me what you think.

Also, I hear the final F/Bb as a whole chord change, like this:
|--x-----------
|--x--(3)-(1)--
|--2---3---2---
|--3---3---3---
|--3---1---3---
|--1---1---1---

As for the final chord itself, I'm leaning towards agreement--the high E I hear might just be an open sixth string ringing out from the chord change.
