chorus part 3    (not so sure about this bar)

verse 2 and pre-chorus are the same as the first

for chorus 2, play the first chorus once, then the following:

|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|-/12-12-12-10-10-10\9-7-9-7h9p7-5-5--4-5-7--|

|-----------------------------------------------------|
 again, not so sure, but sounds OK

for outro, just improvise in D, it's too quiet to hear

at the end this riff kicks in, with fuzz:
