*________________________*
Through this bit a second guitar plays the
higher strings of the E chord just played.

|-4--4-4-4-4--4-7--7-7--7-7-7------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-2--2-2-2-2--2/5--5-5--5-5-5------------------------|
Then back to the CHORUS
Then it changes to what I will call the BRIDGE
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-11-11-11-11-7-7-7-7-7-7-7|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--9--9--9--9-5-5-5-5-5-5-5|
From thereon in there is no new stuff..so that is it.
The song ends on the weird E from the CHORUS
I would like to hear some opinions about this please.
