verse once again (1.49: Hey and I met a lot of great people…)
and bridge
and verse (2.29 Pack up the suitcase I gotta go…)
the song is pretty much the same until the solo where you play over
AMaj GMaj Dm-sus FMaj
and finish playing all the same riffs from above.
This was my first tab so I'm unsure about how to suggest rhythm using tab, but if you listen to the song you will get it. Good luck.
