This is another version of the chorus if you only have one guitar in your
band or if you are just playing at home. This is the version I play at home
by the way this version has my High G5 chord instead of the low G5 chord.

CHORUS 2
The same as 1st chorus (FIG 3 and 4 combined)
SOLO
Notes: This isn't really a solo compared to other pumpkins stuff but it
sounds cool, this has two guitar parts but one guitar can easily pull off
both parts.

SOFT CHORUS
Notes: Oh man, right now billy goes into a chord plucking thing, while he is
singing the regular chorus, softly. The chords he is plucking are the same
ones used on the regular chorus. All you need to do is just pluck these
chords out in individual notes:
B5 G5 D5 Asus Em G
Put FIG 5 over the scream
OUTRO
Notes: Make Sure You add the A#5 after A5.
