It's pretty obvious how the sections fit together when you listen to
the song. There are only 2 exceptions. The third chorus is just like
the other two except it starts off differently (as tabbed in the
"Third Chorus" section). After the third chorus is finished, the song
goes back to the second half of the interlude (using the 3rd ending).
I know it sounds weird, but just listen to the song and you'll see
what I mean.
Basically, this is how I play the song. You're welcome to email me
and tell me how off base I am, so long as you can provide a better
interpretation of the song. Anyway, enjoy.
