Then, the song changes:
|——-5————5|——————|
|——-6————6|——————|
|*—7-7—7-7-7-7-7—|——————*|
|*—7-7—7-7-7-7-7—|-10-10-10———*|
|—5-5—5-5-5-5-5—|—8—8—8—8-8-8—|
|———————|————6-6-6—|
That is repeated for ages.
Then it changes to this:
|———2—5-|————|———|
|—1-x-1—3—6-|—1——1—|———|
|*-2-x-0—2—5-|—0—0—2—|———*|
|*-2-x-2———|—2—0—3—|———*|
|——3———|—3—2—3—|———|
|—————|——3—1—|———|
From here on, its pretty layered. I tried to keep it simple
