No guitar for 4 meaures, then kick in with a few muted strums
into the VERSE 1 fig.2 - 8 strikes?

REPEAT (VERSE 1 fig.2)
On the 4th measure of the verse lead, just hit a few
8's and 0's until the chorus starts again instead of hitting: 8-8
                                                              5-5
