So much for verses and choruses.  The rest are pretty much the same,
except that the rest of the verses hit the G chord a little sooner
(at the beginning of the third line of the verse).

Here's the guitar solo in the middle:

    E (022100@1)                        A (x02220@1)                    E-|----------------------7--7--15b(17)--15b(17)--b(17)15-------------| (022100@1)-|----------------------0--0----------------------------------------|

-|------------------------------------------------------------------|
-|------------------------------------------------------------------|
    'Cos here she comes
                                  A (x02220@1)                                  E-|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| (022100@1)-|--b(17)15b(17)15---------------13b(14)------------------b(17)15-----------|

-|---------------------------14----------------------------------------14~--|
-|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Later, there's a neat riff in one of the last verses.  I think it
comes right after "will you won't you want me to make you" or something
like that.  This is a cool riff with that looonnnng slide.

As the song fades into the first ending, there are some nice bend releases,
while the lyrics repeat "coming down fast":
