Play eight times for first verse, 10 for second:

The verses are almost the same as the intro:

Every so often the guitar will change a bit (listen close to second
 verse), and the Bass changes too (just listen).

During second chorus there are a few really neat-o lead stuff:
 (Just play them, and you'll know where they go, if you listen)

           --17-17-17-17--|
           --17-17-17-17--|  These are sixteenth notes,
           ---------------|   and are played with an echo.
           ---------------|
           ---------------|
           ---------------|


           --5------------|
           --5h6----------|  This, too is played
           --5h7----------|     with an echo.
           ---------------|
           ---------------|
           ---------------|

           ---------------|
           ---------------|
           --7p5h7p5h7p5--|   No echo here!
