Then its the Interlude/Middle 8, whichever you like to call it. its the part where he sings 'la la la la la'

Play this over it

A-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
you may not have heard it before but the last lead part (lead fig. 3) is definatly there.
Then you play:
Rhythm fig. 3
Then the first half of rhythm fig. 2 like so:
G# Maj A# Maj D# Maj
E--3---3--3-3--3---3--3-3--3---3--3-3---3-3--3-3-3-3--
B--3---3--3-3--3---3--3-3--3---3--3-3---3-3--3-3-3-3--
G--0---0--0-0--2---2--2-2--0---0--0-0---0-0--0-0-0-0--
D--2---2--2-2--0---0--0-0--0---0--0-0---0-0--0-0-0-0--
A--3---3--3-3--------------2---2--2-2---2-2--2-2-2-2--
E--------------------------3---3--3-3---3-3--3-3-3-3--
followed by rhythm fig. 4
then finish on this chord:
D# Maj
E--3---
B--3---
G--0---
D--0---
A--2---

Thats it, im pretty sure this is about 98% right, any corrections on the interlude/middle 8 are welcome
