This is great riff to play. It takes a little practice 
to get the feel of it, but it is well worth it.

fast 6/8 time and play

1st verse 
E              G       A                C    B 
Come into my head      Tell me what you see 
Just another dreamer   trying to be free 
Just another schemer   searching for a key 

Chorus 
D             C#m             A    B   E 
Look into my life and tell me what you see X 2 

For the very end lead bit I play something like this 
>From one E to another as fast as you can

This is nowhere near as good as what Alvin does but if nothing else, 
it's good practice at going up and down E blues scale
