  (next, play pre-solo riff 1x, and then play D-Bb-D-Bb-A chords 
   during 1st solo...) 
 
  (...now go back and sing/play 1st eight lines of verse (up to 
   and including "and be free once more" line...)) 
 
  (..finally, sing/play chorus again 2x, and then just play 
     chorus chords as 2nd solo fades out)
