CHORUS 2 - Same as Chorus 1, except chord progression is
played through one extra time, and then a different ending:
instead of going to the Bm at the end, go up to D, as shown.
I will show the end of the chorus riff so you know how it goes

(3:54) starts fading in to build up to the solo, it sounds
like the Edge is just doing sixteenth note rakes like he

B octave again.
