I could tell its a four bar broken chord thing, but couldn't make a tab that sounded right. If you have any ideas, please email me.

If you're good enough at improvising you might make something up from here on while guitar 2 plays Chorus B once more and ends on the Pre Solo. If your playing the whole thing on one guitar I recommend only playing the Solo up to where the singing comes in and ending on Chorus B X 2 followed by the Pre-Solo. Alternatively, you could play the whole solo and put one Chorus B and the Pre-Solo after it.

The only bits that you can't sing while playing are the solo and possibly the verse. If you finish the song as I suggested above the former of these is not a problem. - Harry
