The guitar comes in on the A and D chords at the end of the bass
phrase,
like so...

|------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
|--2--2-2-2-2-2-2--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
|--2--2-2-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
|--2--2-2-2-2-2-2------------------|
|----------------------------------|
|----------------------------------|


The main guitar phrase used throughout the song goes something
like this...

|-----------------------------------------------4-4-4-2--|
|--5-5-5-4----5-5-5-4----4-5-5-4----5-5-5-4-4-4-5-5-5-5--|
|--4-4-4-4----4-4-4-4----4-4-4-4----4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|


Occassionally, this high keening bit comes in, oddly enough
sounding like it's in 6/8 time...

|--9-9-9-7-----9-9-9-7-----9-9-9-7-----9-9-9-7--|
|--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--|
|-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|


And basically the whole song is comprised of those three phrases
alernating around each other. Listen to the record for the timing.
