During this filler part, when you play the last set of plucks, sometimes he 
plays an open string instead of fretting it on the 4th fret. This is 
easily heard though.

The Chorus part is played once, then he plays the main part, then the Chorus 
again.  He sometimes ends the Chorus part with sort of picking the  
A, G#, B and e string together with A fretted on the 2nd fret and the rest 
open. 

You have to listen to the song to figure out when he plays which part when, 
unless you want me to tab out the whole thing with everything in order, in 
which case I'll fix that for you!
