For the little fill between the chorus and the second verse, play the intro again.
Keep in mind that the strum pattern for this part is a little different than the intro, though.
Solo:

G|---7---9---9---9--------------------------------------------------------|
D|---7---9---7---9--------------------------------------------------------|
A|---x---x---9---7--------------------------------------------------------|
E|---7---9----------------------------------------------------------------|
Okay, this part starts to get kinda tricky and less simple & organized.
There's a change up in tempo and in strum pattern.

This part is played a few different ways throughout the ending of the song.
This is the basic progression, but you should play along with the song to get the feel
how you should play it.
As for the outro, it's a bass riff, obviously.
It's played similar to the intro, with a couple other interjecting notes.
This is a great song, and was incredibly difficult to tab.
So have fun playing it.
