CHORUS:
I'll try and show the idea of the chorus, listen for the
strumming and chord slides. At the end go back to strumming
the F# power chord as in the intro.

For Solo 2 use BRIDGE

ENDING:
Play through BRIDGE several times then on the last one
stop at the B power chord(let it ring) and then strum
F#m fast and end with A E F#m as in the intro.

Lead over ending:
I'll show the main idea.
