Alright Now is a good one... I had the same discussion with a fellow local guitarist 2 months
ago...
How do you voice it?
I do it like this (A-string to e-string):

A,e,a,e,a
A,e,a,e,a
A,f#,a,d,f#
A,e,a,e,a
A,e,a,c#
A,f#_g,a,d,f#
A,f#,a,d,f#
A,f#,a,d,f#
A,f#,a,d,f#
A,e,a,e,a

Another riff that\ufffds most often voiced wrong is Owner of a lonely heart...
