The Interlude is two parts, I'll be nice and post both, since the rhythm is easy
to post
Part 1 is the rhythm. It's only three chords, you can tell where it changes, so
I'll just post the chords. It goes in this pattern..
Asus4 - Esus4 - F#m11 - Asus4
Play it four times
Asus2 F#m11 Esus4

Now the lead part. Same as above, play it four times.

That's pretty much it. Those are almost all the parts, barring any of the extra
guitar in it. But, that should get you through it.
