        Then go to the verses which look like this.

           |  |               |                |



        Here is the first part of the break in the song, listen to 
song to know where it goes.( I think that it is the end of a 
chorus)

        This fill is near the end of the song.  I think that it is 
another break in the song.  Play it 2 times.

        This next fill is also near the end but it has 16th notes in 
it so it may look confusing to look at but if you have any 
questions about it mail me back and maybe I can explain.
(I am not absolutly sure about the first 2 parts in this fill.)

        The chorus is the same as the verses until you come to a 
certain point, and here is that point.(Listen to song to know what 
I mean.)

           |  |   |_|         |                |




        I only Have 2 more fills that I will write down here that are 
from the middle of the song.  I have the others figured out now, if 
you would like the rest of them mail me and tell me.

           |  |               |                |
           |  |               |                |




        And finaly the last fill.



        Here's the first part.  Again it has a lot of 16th notes so 
it may look strange




                                                  
        C.C|-----------x-------x---------------|
           |                                   |
           |     ______  _____   ___     _____ |
           |    |______||   |_| |_| |   |   |_||
           |    |______||   | | | | |   |   | ||
           |    |||||||||   | | | | |   |   | ||
        B  |---000000000---0-0-0-0-0---0---0-0-|



I think that this is right but there are probably a few mistakes 
but not to many I hope.  Like I said before if you want the rest of 
the fills just ask, but you should be able to figure them out just 
by listening.
