Chorus 2 - same. Interlude - Same as verse one and pre chorus, but no bass. Also goes into 3/4 time Chorus X2 That's It! It really is a beast of a song. I think there's 3 guitars, but, that's the general way it goes. The only bit I'm unsure about it the end of the Chorus. I know that those are the bass notes. Not sure about if that's what the guitars play though. I'm pretty sure the rest is right. I tried to tab the way that the ska bits are played, but, they aren't hard to get the hang of. Gerner xxx
