This progression gets repeated throughout the song/monologue;
the only exception is the "impending doom" sound effect (I for-
get where in the song this occurs) produced by strumming the
following chords in sequence:

     Ebo7       F#o7       Ao7       Co7

 E |---2----------5---------8--------11--|
 B |---1----------4---------7--------10--|
 G |---2----------5---------8--------11--|
 D |---1----------4---------7--------10--|
 A |-------------------------------------|
 E |-------------------------------------|

and the ending strums, which are C C F F C G C chords in usual
positions.
