At the end of the song at 3 minutes 31 seconds there
is a small
solo :

g--------------|-------------|------------------------------------|
d--------------|-------------|------------------------------------|

Then using the same rythem as the main solo:
e------------------------|-0-----0vvvv----------------------------|
b-5-3-3-5vv---3-2-2-3vvv-|-2-0-0-2--------12----------------------|
g------------------------|----------------12----------------------|

e------------------------|----------------------------------------|

e------------------------|--------------------------12------------|
b-5-3-3-5vv---3-2-2-3vv--|-2-0-0-2vvvv-------15b17-----12--15b17--|
g------------------------|----------------------------------------|
d------------------------|----------------------------------------|
a------------------------|----------------------------------------|
e------------------------|----------------------------------------|

Repeat these last four bars and perhaps add some
variations until
end.

surgestions mail them
