Chorus:
This is how the chorus is played the first time- the last 2 bars are
played differently each verse. I'm not writing each verse out since it
takes up an awful lot of space- refer to the album to get the other
fills. However, note that the last (outro) chorus consists of, more or
less, the first two bars played 9 times altogether.
