The numbers below the staff count the beats in each measure of this
waltz - 1, 2, 3. The spaces between the beat-numbers widen at times
to make room for the notes that occur between the beats.

During this part you can either play the riff from 0:05
or you can strum along likeso:
-----2-2-2-------2-2-2-------2-2-2-------2-2-2-------
-----3-3-3-------2-2-2-------0-0-0-------2-2-2-------
-----2-2-2-------2-2-2-------2-2-2-------2-2-2-------

-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3
Or you can play it an octave higher:
----14-14-14----14-14-14----14-14-14----14-14-14-----
----15-15-15----14-14-14----12-12-12----14-14-14-----

1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3
And the strummed version - move this an octave higher if
you wish:

-----2-2-2-------3-3-3-------2-2-2-------3-3-3--------

At 2:01 the plucked notes played beneath the solo sound very
similar to what was played at 0:05, but there is actually a
small difference of one note. Basically the bottom note of
each arpeggiated chord is reversed from what it was before.
This is hard to explain with words, I advise that you just
play along a few times and you'll hear what the difference
is. Compare this with what's at 0:05:
(play this beneath the solo)
-------2-----------2-----------2-----------2----------
-----3---3-------2---2-------0---0-------3---3--------
-0-2-------2-1-2-------2-0-2-------2-1-2-------2------
-*-----------*-----------*-----------*----------------
------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3
See those bottom notes? I put stars beneath them. They're
the exact opposites of what they were during the beginning
of the song.)
Anyway, then it goes into this:
-------------------2-----------------------2----------
-------2---------3---3---------2---------3---3--------
-----2---2-----2-------2-----2---2-----2-------2------
---2-------2-0-------------2-------2-0----------------
-0-----------------------0----------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3
Which is the same as "I see you lying stiff and cold..."
Now for the solo itself:

"Reeling..." "Out..."
(the guitar AND mandolin are playing here, but this is
what I hear for the constantly-plucked guitar part)

The next chorus is the same as all the previous ones.
