During the first verse, keep repeating the section above between |: and :|
occasionally playing it this way to emphasize the words:

Then after 'They got a lot o' nice girls' comes the break. Resume playing
the same as above with heavy distortion:

Then, during the guitar solo, keep playing the above section between
When the solo comes to an end, this is the pattern and the break:

(I usually play the D string with my pick and the E string with
   my middle finger. You can, of course, play both with your pick)

Repeat the break between |: and :| twice, then go back to the
clean part (same as the very first section). Play it 4 times,
hit the distortion, and play the same as the first verse until the fade...
