For the quiet part, Thurston is playing very little, and I can't make
it out. Lee, plays something like this:

Around 1:58:

F#-----------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------*12*-----
B---------------------------------------------------------*12*-----
B---------------------------------------------------------*12*-----
E----0--0-0-0-0---0-0---0-0--0-0----0--0-0-0---0--0--0---0--0-0--0-
E--0---0---0-0--0--0-0-0---0--0---0---0--0----0--0---0---0--0--0-0-

Basically just a bunch of open E's. He starts to play closer to the
bridge when it begins to sound trebly, then plays the harmonics. You'll
hear them easily.

"Kiss me on, Kiss beyond the lips" part:
                                                 *
D------------------3---------------------------0-0---- Or something similar...
E---------5--------3---------------------------0-0--0-
G---------5--------3-------------------0---0---0-0--0-
D----5----5----3---3-----------------0-0-0------------
G--5----5----3---3----------0-0-0--0-0-0--------------
E-----------------------------------------------------
                                                       *
F#------------------------------------------------  ------
E-------------------------------------------------  ------
B--------8------------6-----------------------15--  --15--
B------8----8-------6---6-------3---3\15------15--  --15--
E----8--------8---6-------6-----3---3\15---15----- ---15--
E--8------------6-----------6\3-3---3\15---15----- ---15--

Chords marked * hold for "Ooh, I love you" part. Then play intro for
"ooh baby baby, kinda crazy, kinda hazy, and kinda messy too" part.

repeat verse/chorus...... end on low E.
