This riff is brought to you by the good people of Maxwell House!  Okay, it's actually brought to you by Helix. And it's a bit more than a riff. I was asked to do a bit of this song, maybe just the Intro or something. So I did up to the first Chorus (Intro, Verse, Chorus). Since it was a partial tab, I thought I'd post it here. The song is from Helix' 1990 Back For Another Taste CD.

When I was asked to do it, I didn't know the song. It's a good song, although I noticed immediately that it reminded me a lot of another song that was a very big hit back in the 1980's, done by a very well known band. It's mostly the Chorus that I find similar, not so much the verses. And if you click on the bottom link of this post to the page where the Helix song is, and take a look at the short credits list for that album, you'll even find a fairly obvious clue as to what other band I'm referring to. So I don't think it's totally accidental that the two songs sound similar.

"Last Drop" requires some retuning. You'll need to tune to Eb. It can be played in standard tuning, of course, but it will sound half a tone higher than the recording.
