yeah she had another quality
The way you used to look
and I know, you never read a book

fell down around her face

The fills stay about the same and then you get the bridge:


E
Yes and your rich old man
                       B
you know he'd call her
B               
a dead ringer

Repeat last two staves to fade.
I don't think I've missed anything.
The first solo is similar to the Intro so
you should be able to work it out from that.
