stay on a Eb power chord

Guitar 2 does some high notes on distortion
each note lasts a measure

Bridge  - No Guitar, here are the chords from Piano
(conceivably, they could be playing the verse riff here, but it's far too quiet to be sure)
(if you want to play along, either play these bar chords, or verse riff, whichever 
better)
(i normally go with the bar chords so that it gives contrast between this and the verse)
