The bass for the opening is:

This gets transposed to positions 1 step up and 1 1/2 steps up.

Fripp also plays at the end of the riff sometimes a "sick" sounding 
note
which is:

(i)  and  (ii)
  s

-0---------0-------------------

So the 1st verse is played if we call the main riff E , the transposed
riffs of 1 and 1 1/2 steps F# and G respectvely and including the 
"sick"
notes (i) and (ii) we get the sequence...

 E  E  F#  E (i)  G  G  E (i)    then 1st chorus

 2nd time through it is....

 E  E (i)  F# (ii)  E (i)        then 2nd chorus

The bass drones these notes as roots for this section playing octaves
for accents.

Chorus:

This is played twice:

to the C which is played for that bar.
