[A] [F] [G]
"Come rest your head, come stay with me a while"

(1:42) (1:53)
Play PreChorus 2, but Lead plays this:
Play Chorus Again
Break - Uneven Rhythm (5th fret is longer note, play as shown), played 2x
Play Prechorus again
Play Chorus again
For Outro, Bass plays Main Riff melody and Rhythm Gtr plays some occasional
A Pentatonic scale fills that are hard to hear, so I tabbed the lead part:

"come rest your head"
"come rest your head"
