<    After playing the line above twice, guitar 2 plays this (I 
  |   tried to line  everything up):
  |
  |   eb|---{Lead}----------------------------------------------|
  |   Bb|-------------------------------------------------------|
  |   Gb|13---9-----11--13-14-13----9---11----------------------|
  |   Db|---------------------------------------------------X2--|
  |   Ab|11---7-----9---11-12-11----7---9-----------------------|
  |   Eb|-------------------------------------------------------|

    This next riff is very similar to the intro, but without the
    octaves above it.
Verse
     Not completely sure on the repetition and strumming, listen
     to the song and it should make more sense.

     "So please, don't ask me how..."

It sounds like the pitch actually drops here, but that would mean
detuning to Bb standard, which just doesn’t seem right for where
the rest of the song is played.  They could possibly bust out a 
baritone or a 7 string for just this song, but I highly doubt it.
Most likely, they just let the bass play the root note in the 5th.


The next part of the bridge is simply the above part, but continue
To strum the chords instead of cutting it off for a rest.
