Part 3 - Bridge

Violins play in the background here but I didn't bother to tab them for

guitar, again entirely optional if you want a second guitarist to play

the notes the violin does.

Part 4 - Outro

It's basically alternate picking of the E5, D5, C#5, B5 and A5 chords

with the e and b strings also strummed from what I can tell (Don't trust

me for the names of the chords by the way)
The way I've played the D5 here (x59700) is just the way I like to play

that chord, it can just as easily be replaced by (x57700)
You'll get the hang of it the more you play it, I'm not 100% sure about

this part yet so any comments would be appreciated.
