repeat the verse twice (very small variations) then into the bridge: 
  4/4              4/4              6/4 
G|----------------|----------------|-----------------|-

A|55--55--55--55-3|---3---3---3----|-----------------|- 
E|---5---5---5----|---------------3|55-133-01-----030|- 
 
 
once again play the verse plus the bridge, then the verse again 
and at end fade the whole thing out for nearly two minutes playing 
the last two bars of the verse.
