Interlude:
This is a short break in drums and has guitars only from 1:01 to 1:08.
There are several layers of guitars (three at least) for the next
sections, after this interlude... However the two parts during this
8 sec break can be played like this:

Part 3: 1:08 to 2:04
This harmony section has three or four guitar parts, one rhythm (gtr 1) and
the others are 'leads', here's a fairly close guess:
Gtr 1:
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------

Gtr 2: (Here individual notes are repaeatedly played as appropriate, so i
don't have to type hem in over and over again.....!!)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Part 4: runs from 2:05 to 2:33, and has only one (individual) gtr part:
-------------------
-------------------
------------------- play this 4 times and then dead stop.
5-8-7-------5------
3-6-5-8-5-8-3-2----
------6-3-6---4----
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Part 5 starts after the dead stop, at 2:35, and begins with the lead guitar gtr 2,
playing this:
Gtr 2
-----------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------999999-10-10----------------------
99999999-10-10-10-10-8888----------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
Carry on playing that piece above until 3:25 when the lead gtr starts playing what it
played in Part 1 of the song.
Meanwhile, the rhythm (gtr 1) under Gtr 2(above) is like this:
Gtr 1:
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
------------------444444-----------------------------------
99999999999988888855555577777777---------------------------

00000000000000000000000000000000---------------------------
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Then song goes into Part 1 again, to Part 2, and then to part 6 below:
Part 6: from 4:33 to 5:13
Gtr 1:
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
2-2---------2--------------2-2-------2---------------------
2-2--2-3-2--2--------2-3-2-2-2-2-3-2-2---------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------
---------------------5-7-4----7h-4h5h4-2---etc...----------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Finally the song goes into part 7, at 5:13 till the end:
Part 7:
Gtr 1: (clean)
