I don't suppose anyone has mandolin tab for this tune, particularly the opening riff? I have some guitar tab which seems kind of accurate, but transposing it to mando makes my head implode.

Try learning it by ear. It doesn’t sound too hard, mostly chord strums.

The opening riff would be pretty difficult to translate to mando because the sound of the riff depends on the slide from A to B on the third string of the guitar and ringing into the second string B. You would have to get pretty creative on the mando and it still won't sound the same because of the different tuning.
