The second pre-chorus and chorus are the same as the first. Then they go into the psycho bit...

On the eighth time they play this: -1 - -2 - -3 - -4 - - -1 - -2 - -3 - -4 - - (2:00) E |-------------------------|-------------------------| B |-------------------------|-------------------------| G |-99999999999-------------|-------------------------| D |-------------3-----------|-5-----------7-----------| A |-77777777777-3-----------|-5-----------7-----------| E |-00000000000-1-----------|-3-----------5-----------| Trem picking -1 - -2 - -3 - -4 - - E |-------------------------| B |-------------------------| G |-4-----------x-----------| D |-2-----------x-----------| A |-2-----------x-----------| E |-0-----------x-----------| That's followed by the really trippy bit, which starts at about (2:04). It's basically this repeated eight times: -1 - -2 - -3 - -4 - - -1 - -2 - -3 - -4 - - E |-------------------------|-------------------------| B |-------------------------|-------------------------| G |-------------------------|-------------------------| D |-------------x-----------|-------------------0-----| A |-------------x-----------|----------------3--------| E |-0-----------x-----------|----------0-h1-----------| Let ring------- While they're playing this they're making all sorts of noises as well. Some of the things they're doing are: * scraping the pick along the heavier strings * playing the strings between the nut and the tuning pegs * playing harmonics at odd frets (i.e. not 12, 7 or 5) * bending the strings behind the nut Just try anything, the sounds you get it probably depends on what guitar you have, so experiment. Then they go into the prechorus again at (2:26), then they finish up with a couple of choruses.
