Repeat that verse part once, with this lead part played over it:

Eb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then the song hits the chorus, at around the three-minute mark now, and it goes something like this:
Eb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb|---4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---------7-7---------------------7-7-9-9-12-12-------|

Eb|-----------------------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---------------------|
Hold that last G chord of the chorus, and then repeat the second half of the verse, with the lead part. Then,
return to the chorus; the second is musically identical to the first. Then, around 4:00 the song hits the
bridge:
Eb|---2----2----0----3------2----2--------------------------------------------|
Bb|---3----2----0----0------3----2--------------------------------------------|
Gb|---2----2----0----0------2----2---------4-4--------------------------------|
Db|---0---------2----0------0---------2-2--4-4---5----------------------------|
Ab|-------------2----2----------------2-2--2-2---5----------------------------|
Eb|-------------0----3----------------0-0--------3----------------------------|
Hold the G chord, and this part starts again:
Eb|------------------------5/7------------------------------------------------|
Bb|---0-7--0-8-5--0-7--0-8----------------------------------------------------|
Gb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Eb|---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0-0--5-5-5-5-5---5-5-5-5-5-5-5--------------------|
Followed by this one, with the lead still going:
Eb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb|-------------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----------------------------------------|
Db|---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----------|

Eb|---3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----------|
And this ending to the lead part:
Eb|---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9---12----------------------------|
Bb|---6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10--13----------------------------|

Db|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The song then goes back to one time through the verse. Then comes the dual solo. One guitar does this:
Eb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|------12----12-------12----12/14-12---10---10------10--10/12-10------------|
Gb|---/11----11---11--11----11----------9----9----9--9---9--------------------|

Gb|---7---7----7--7---7--------6----6---6--6---6------------------------------|
Db|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
While the other does this:
Eb|------10----10----------10-----10/12-10-----9-----9--------9----9/10--9----|
Bb|---12----12-----12---12-----12-----------10----10---10--10---10------------|
