GUITAR 1 - CHORUS (1:24-1:45)
E|------------------------|
B|-1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1-| Kele almost plays these notes on the cross rhythm.
G|------------------------| It's hard to hear because it merges with Russell,
D|------------------------| and toward the end of the section I think he does
A|------------------------| move and follow similarly but lower.
E|------------------------|
GUITAR 2 - Returns to 'LEAD, OVER MAIN RIFF' (1:45-2:37), while Kele plays...
GUITAR 1 - ALTERED MAIN RIFF (1:45-2:37)
E|---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-|

GUITAR 1 - CLIMAX (3:43-4:07)
E|---------------------------------|
B|-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-| Repeat until return to main riff.
G|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| Kele only plays this; Gordon's bass part does most of
D|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-| the changing you can hear. Unsure whether he plays it
A|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-| this quick, or half time. Hard to hear. Optional top E.
E|---------------------------------|

D|---------------------------|---------------------------|
A|---------------------------|---------------------------| I know it looks like a mix of
E|---------------------------|---------------------------| numbers, but I am pretty sure
something along these lines is
(4:01) played here. It doesn't matter
E|-7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-8-| too much; just so long as your
B|-5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| strumming builds to the end.
