keep picking last chord and bend up... this is around 2:34 now. at this point
just start going wild up in that area of the neck, working around what i've
already tabbed. then at 2:45 play:

B----0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--

F#---0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--

A-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

bend up that last chord. then to the next vocal part:

B------------------------
E------------------------
F#-------------------7---
E-------5--------7------- repeat simile
F#------------7--------- 
A-----0------------------

then strum this til the last verse:

B------------------------           -----------------      
E---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--           -----------------    
F#--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--           --8-8-8-8-7~~~--
E---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--   then:   ---0-0-0-0-0-----                    
F#--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--           --8-8-8-8-7~~~-- let feedback                       
A------------------------           -----------------  

then return to harmonic riff used in intro/verse.

THEN to this riff:

B--------------------------------
E--------------------------------
F#--0-3-5-5-7~~--0-3-5-5-2~~~--
E--------------------------------  repeat...
F#--0-3-5-5-7~~--0-3-5-5-2~~~--
A--------------------------------

then:

B------------------
E------------------
F#-----------------
E-------5~~-----0-- play just a few times, then......
F#-----------------
A---25-----5/2----

...end on:

B---------
E----0----
F#---0----
E----0----
F#---0----
A----0----
