It would be best to not follow the leads note for note,

because I'm probably wrong about the order in which they're

played. Make your own revisions. Also, listen to the song

to get the order of everything correct, and to know when to

repeat things. I'm sorry that I don't know the ending,

but if somebody would send it to me, I would be very grateful.
