The presolo and solo are played over the bridge, then the chorus is played
once and then both the bridge and presolo are played once followed by the
ending.

At the end of the chorus, the '_' between the B chords indicates the rhythm
of two eighth notes followed by a quarter note. The slide at the end of the
solo is played by running the pick down (towards the nut) the middle strings.
