The section aboves is played twice, on the second time the pattern stops on beat 4 with the lead bending the
note, basically listen for the difference right before the vocals come in.

at this point in the song 1:38ish, it goes into another lead + rhythm part similar to the intro, it is very
similar except for there are multiple lead lines.

Outro is played twice, then it goes into a short solo, which is basically a variant of the intro melody/pattern
and then ends on a C#. Well hopefully this is close, it sounds decent enough when i play it, not sure about the
lyrics but whatever. Let me know if anything is glaringly wrong, especially with the rhythms, not sure if they
are accurate but it seems to reflect the song well, enjoy.
