There is a distinct strumming pattern here, so listen carefully.
Some of the notes almost sound muted, bet they still are audiable,
so don't let go of the strings at any point. You can hear the strum
pattern individually at 3:17 for one bar- so treat yourself.

When Sam sings "one..two..three", it goes into some kind of bridge
or alternate verse.
Dm

Same chords but lead guitar changes slightly.
These notes are all safe to play...

It is barely decipherable- I play this, picking at the same rhythm as the rhythm guitar.

It slips back into the verse after 8 bars of this.
"But each night"
