Verse

I haven't done the verse  because I couldn't hear it clearly enough to make
out the notes. 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.

It continues but has pretty much completely faded out at this point. If
you're good enough at improvising you might make something up from here on
while guitar 2 plays Chorus BB 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 BB X 2 followed
by the Pre-Solo. Alternatively, you could play the whole solo and put one
Chorus BB and the Pre-Solo after it.

ORDER:

GUITAR 1-----------------------------------------------------------GUITAR 2
Intro----------------------------------------------------------------(Rest)
(Rest)------------------------------------------------------------Verse X 2
Pre-Chorus A---------------------------------------------------------(Rest)
Chorus A augmentedA X 3---------------------------------------------------------(Rest)
(Rest)------------------------------------------------------------Verse X 2
Pre-Chorus A---------------------------------------------------------(Rest)
Chorus A augmentedA X 3---------------------------------------------------------(Rest)
Break----------------------------------------------------------------(Rest)

Pre-Chorus B---------------------------------------------------------(Rest)
Chorus BB X 2---------------------------------------------------------(Rest)
Pre-Solo-------------------------------------------------------------(Rest)
Solo---------------------------------------(Rest one bar then) Chorus BB X 3

As you can see there is little overlap so by good control of your tone you
can play the whole thing on one guitar.  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.
