7a starts when Kirk starts playing riff 1 distorted and the orchestra is still doing
the breakdown part.  7a continues through the first two "And it comes to be" lines,
then switches to 7b for the rest.


solo by Boyle: It's not exact, but it's a good starting point.

the solo starts as a continuation of riff 5b)

The first on is when James sings the slow freight train part.

( it's just little variations of those notes, it's easy to listen to and 
figure out the pattern)

The second part is the thing he plays during the riff that comes after the 
solo.
