I think its pretty much complete, only 3 parts sound wrong to me:

First in the chorus on the last part '..clerk is closing up..', its a little off.
Also the picking at the end in the outro is way off, so i just made up something
simpler heh. And at the end of the bridge i cant get the timing right.

Other than those is sounds alright to me!
Enjoy!
