For the part where the chorus goes on with the solo underneath it, just follow the same 
chord progression at the moments you hear the chords change. The rhythm is still the 
same, so you can play the same chords at the same moment as before.

Day-Glo Jesus on the dash
   E                D
Chalk marks on the road ahead
                 F#m
Friendly fire in hostile waters
 E
Keep the faith
     D
Don't lose your head
          E
So how do we now come to be?
There it is. I hope you like it and if you have any advice, please tell me by writing a
