Once again, thanks to the awful mixing on the By Your Side album, a lot of these guitar
are buried. I did the best I could to make out what's being played, or at least come up
something close.

Rich plays some fills after hitting the Bb chord here, but they are nearly inaudible.
fourth time through this phrase, hit a B chord:
D-----
B-----
G--4--
D--4--
G--4--
D-----
after the Bb, and then it's back to the verse rhythm.
