Those 3 guitar parts are a bit different during the lyrics, but the lyrics basically

drown them out, the part I posted was the part between the lyrics. If you want the
part 
during the lyrics, e-mail me.

And the last guitar parts, guitars 4 and 5 play during the synthesiser, goes like
this:

--------------------------0--0--0--0--0--0--0-------------------
--------------------------0--0--0--0--7--7--7--------------7----

Lyrics:

Oh, baby, it's crying time                                       (Riff 1)
Oh, baby, I've got to fly
Got to try to find a way
Got to try to get away
Cause you know I got to get away from you babe
Oh, baby, the river's red
Oh, baby, in my head
There's a funny feeling going on
I don't think I can hold out long

And when the owls cry in the night                               (Riff 2)
Oh, baby, when the pines begin to cry
Baby, baby, how do you feel?
If the rivers run dry, baby, how would you feel?

                                                                 (Riff 1)

Craze, baby, rainbow's end 
Oh, baby, it's just a den for those who hide
Who hide their love to the depths of life
And ruin dreams that we all knew so babe

And when the owls cry in the night                               (Riff 2)
Oh, baby, when the pines begin to cry
Baby, baby, how do you feel?
If the rivers run dry, baby, how would you feel?
Ah, baby how do you feel
                                                                 (Riff 3)

Oh, brave I endure                                               (Riff 1)
Ooh, yeah, strong sheilds of love
They can hold the wrath of those who walk
And the boots of those who march
Baby, through the Roads of Time so long ago                      (Riff 1)
                                                                 Fade out
