I believe this part goes into 7/8 rhythm (though not really sure). It might take a bit
trying to get this sounding right because of the change in rhythm. You can work out
for yourself; it would just follow the same chords. It joins in on the second verse on
6th time the riff is played (just listen for that).

Interlude (2:24) 7/8 time
Here just play the verse riff very softly (pianissimo) six times. After the fourth time
the riff the bass will join in for the last two times.
After that play the chorus again and then the bridge four times (see above). Hopefully
sounds good. Any problems or bits that don’t sound to your liking im open to
no ones perfect.
Every note is an eighth note unless stated otherwise.
