Every time the guitar plays very loudly in this section, play this:
F|-----------------|
C|---6---6---6---6-| you'll play it 3 times in this section
G|-----------------|
D|-4---4---4---4---|
Let the notes ring!
(It's not the exact timing, just play in rhythm with the guitar.
It'd be hard to tab the whole section with those octave F#s...)
IMPORTANT! Slowly increase the attack volume after playing the bars
above for all three times just before this last Bridge bar:
1 2 3 4
F|-----------------|
C|-----------------|
G|---------------0-|
D|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---|
