Insanity in the form of a bluegrass lick over G.. Mike screams out
"Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....eeeeeeeey"
then
Verse 3 is the same as verse 2.
Cut to "heeeeere's a place of elegance" part:
D C F F G C F F 4X, last time, cut to chorus.
One extra chorus, with D/C/B/A at the end.
It ends up with some nutso "poor heart" type ending that i'm not even going to TRY to transcribe.
