From this point on the guitar is a lot harder to hear and the playing is somewhat more complex. The chord
structure is the same though so if you just follow that and add your own embellishments, it should shound

[Third Verse]
Chords are placed loosely in relation to the lyrics because the timing of Walker's singing is strange.
Changes happen at the beginning of each bar though, as they do above, so if you just keep that in mind then
it's easy.
