Chorus
[Chorus] (This is the part I played probably the most differently from Marr, technically it begins on the
and of 4 in the previous measure), which rings over the bar line
It's basically made of this new chord and arpeggio line on the high strings, followed by one repetition of
the bridge riff, repeat that whole thing twice.
