Biography:
Mazzy Star was an alternative / dream pop band founded in Los Angeles, CA, United States. They formed in 1989 from the group Opal, a collaboration of guitarist David Roback and bassist Kendra Smith. Roback's friend Hope Sandoval became the group's vocalist when Smith left the band.
Mazzy Star is probably most famous for their song "Fade Into You", which brought the band some success in the mid-1990s and was the group's biggest mainstream hit, earning extensive exposure on MTV, VH1, and radio airplay.

Rhymes Of An Hour by Mazzy Star
Written by David Roback and Hope Sandoval
Tabbed by CJWilky
Having listened to the studio and several live versions there are still two lines I'm not certain of:
"While the cold winter waving
While you stone the crow"
Comments and corrections very welcome.

The main riff is picked.
For the intro it is as above, D5 for 4 bars, C for 1 bar. Then the same pattern but D5 x2 C x1, and
back to D5 before the verse begins.
The e string is often muted to varying degrees through the song.

A D5 begins on the "know" of "I think you know" and continues for 2 bars before the G of the break
riff begins.
No Capo
Though if strumming, try the D (instead of D5) and C barred in the "A position" at 5 and 3,
with G at 3 in the "E position". It also sounds good with the D and C barred in the "E position"
at 10 and 8. Strumming DUU nicely approximates the riff especially if you only hit the bass note on the Down.
Intro: D5 C D5 C D5
D5
Cannot hear what you're saying

Could I tell you so
And I can't believe my troubles
