During the first verse, keep repeating the section above between |: and :|
occasionally playing it this way to emphasize the words:
e|-----------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------|
G|---2----2----2----2--2--2--2--2----|
D|---2----2----2-2--2--2--2--2--2----|
A|-----3----5----0-------------------|

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

Keep repeating the part in between |   | during the second verse, then
after 'I might be mistaken', switch to:

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:
e|------------------------------------------|

E|------------------------------------------------------------|
(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...
