The guitars both repeat their parts, and the string section
adds these two measures over the E5 chord
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--6--7--6--7--6--7--6--7--6--7--6--7--6--7--6--7--|

The second time, guitar 2 plays this instead of the last measure,
and continues into the verse:
|---------------------------------------------------|-------|
|---------------------------------------------------|-------|
|---------------------------------------------------|-------|
|--6b(7)r6b(7)r6b(7)r6b(7)r6b(7)r6b(7)r6b(7)r6b(7)--|--2/4--|

Verse: (chords played by organ)
D A E
She comes ...
She comes
She comes ...
She comes to me ..
She brings me home
Chorus:
Guitar 1 plays the same E5 A progression it did in the intro;
The string section plays the same thing it did in the intro;
Guitar 2 plays the same part it played in the intro, except that it
omits that first chord that swells up over the E5 chord, and it
replaces the last measure with:
|--4b(5)r4b(5)r4b(5)r4--|

Instead of the last measure of the repeat of the chorus, the song
moves into the bridge:
E5 E5maj7

|--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--|--2--2------|
|--------------------------|------------|
|--------------------------|------------|
The string section plays the high note of the first three chords,
and then plays a little G#-A trill over the A chord
E5 E5maj7
1-2-3-4-5-6-7 a.m.
All alone ...
D A
But I've ... before
Spend my ...
Cry about ...
But I ain't ...
Interlude:
After the third measure of the repeat, the song changes to this:
The timing is chaotic, to say the least, so listen carefully for
exactly when these notes are sounded. Guitar 2 plays the part tabbed
out, and guitar 1 just plays the chords indicated.
The strings play an E5 chord, just a high E and B note for the
next 5 measures.
A5
