I won't tab the next part, so you can figure it out yourself.

there's lots of harmonics and stuff...

it ends with this:



|-9-10-9-7--------------------------------------------|

|----------10-9-7-6-7-6-------------------------------|

|-----------------------7-6-4-------------------------|

|-----------------------------7-6-4-3-4-3-------------|

|-2-2-2---2-2-2-----------|





Then comes the keyboard solo

during that guitar plays Riff E 2 times.



Play only the first two patterns of the chorus

and then:
