I'm not not ex
but it sounds 
|-------------
|-7----------7
|-7--7-----7--
|----7--9-----
|-5-----------
|----5--------

actly sure wha
something like
--------------
-----7--------
-7---7--7-----
---7----7--9--
-----5--------
--------5-----

t the guitar plays right before the piano part, 
 this:
--------
--7-----
7---7---
------7-
--------
--------

Then there's t
|-------------
|-------------
|-----7-9-7--7
|-7-7---------
|-------------
|-------------

he piano solo,
--------------
------8-8-8-7-
-9-7----------
--------------
--------------
--------------

 which you can
--------------
--------------
7----7-9------
---7-------5--
--------------
--------------

 play like thi
--------------
-------------8
--7-9---7-9---
7-----7-------
--------------
--------------

s on guitar:
-----------
-8-8-7--10-
-----------
-----------
-----------
-----------

or down an octave like this:

|-------------
|-------------
|-------------
|-------------
|-----5-7-5--5
|-5-5---------

--------------
--------------
--------------
------5-5-5-4-
-7-5----------
--------------

--------------
--------------
--------------
--------------
5----5-7------
---5------3--5

--------------
--------------
--------------
------------5-
-5-7---5-7----
-----5--------

----------
----------
----------
5-5-4--7--
----------
----------


Then after the piano solo, before the final chorus, the guitar plays 

something like this:

|-------------
|-------------
|-----7-----7-
|-------------
|-5-5---5-5---
|-------------

--------------
--------------
----7-----7---
--------------
5-5---5-5---5-
--------------

--------------
--------------
--7-------7---
--------------
5----5-5-5---5
--------------

--------------
--------------
--7-----7-----
--------------
-5---5-5---5-5
--------------

--------
--------
7-----7-
--------
---5-5--
--------


over another part that sounds kinda like this:

|-------------
|-------------
|-7-7-7-7-7-7-
|-------------
|-5-5-5-5-5-5-
|-------------

--------------
--------------
7-7-9-9-9-9-6-
--------------
5-5-7-7-7-7-4-
--------------

------
------
6-6-6-
------
4-4-4-
------

Then play this four times for the final chorus:

|-------------
|-------------
|-7-7-7-7-7-7-
|-7-7-7-7-7-7-
|-5-5-5-5-5-5-
|-------------

--------------
--------------
7-7-9-9-9-9-9-
7-7-9-9-9-9-9-
5-5-7-7-7-7-7-
--------------

--------------
--------------
9-9-9---------
9-9-9-9-9-9-9-
7-7-7-9-9-9-9-
------7-7-7-7-

--------------
--------------
--------------
9-9-9-9-5-5-5-
9-9-9-9-5-5-5-
7-7-7-7-3-3-3-

----------
----------
----------
5-5-5-5-5-
5-5-5-5-5-
3-3-3-3-3-

and you end on
