The bridge is just the last two bars of the second part of the verse (the bit in G), with
the syncopated rhythm only played in the last bar, rather than played on every repeat of
the two-bar pattern.
At the end, Barry improvises and alternates between different patterns and riffs upon the
chorus bassline. Improvise as you see fit.
