There are some guitar parts that precede and accompany the second verse.
They are as follows:
Just as the first Chorus ends play:
E|--------4--------------------------|
B|----------7pulloff4----------------|
G|---6p8--------------6/8------------|
D|-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------|
After each verse line in the second verse:
E|--------4--------------------------|
B|----------7pulloff4----------------|
G|--------------------6-4p-6---------|
D|---------------------------5-------|
A|-----------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------|

That's all I have. I didn't think it was necessary to go
into a lot of repetitive detail, since the song form
repeats. Once you play it a few times, you see how
the pieces fit. Enjoy.
