Every so often the guitar will change a bit (listen close to second

verse), and the Bass changes too (just listen).

During second chorus there are a few really neat-o lead stuff:

(Just play them, and you'll know where they go, if you listen)

--17-17-17-17--|

--17-17-17-17--| These are sixteenth notes,

---------------| and are played with an echo.

           ---------------|
           ---------------|
           ---------------|
           --5------------|

--5h6----------| This, too is played

--5h7----------| with an echo.

           ---------------|
           ---------------|
           ---------------|
           ---------------|
           ---------------|
           ---------------|

--7p5h7p5h7p5--| No echo here!

           ---------------|
