   [Bar1]      [Bar2]      [Bar3]      [Bar4]                  [Bar5]

Play Rhythm Figure 1 twice: . . .sun is setting cool again. . .
   [the first time normal. . .the second time muffle all except E-chords]

Play Chorus 4 times:. . .seems like i've been here before

Next play the following bars of Rhythm Figure 2: . . .drags me under. . .
        1, 2, 3, 4,   1, 2, 3, 4,   1, 4

Some would debate as to whether the next part is solely bass, but it's fun
to beat the buhle out of your guitar, so I recommend playing it anyway.
You can always buy new strings. . .

Sorry about the cryptic references, but the song is very cyclic.
