Tuning: B F# B E G# C# (Tune to drop D and then tune everything three half-steps lower.
This is to get a low, bassy tone.)

The second verse starts at 01:19 and is the same as the first one with the first '10 break'
at 01:31-01:35.

G# |-----------------------------|
E |-----------------------------|
B |-----------------------------|
F# |-----------------------------|
B |---12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12---|
...and then another '10 break' immediately after that at 01:40-01:44.
Then return to the standard verse riff.
Repeat for the second "Once in a while/10 break" thing which is at 01:47.
At 01:56 there is another chorus (With another slight variation!):
