Repeat the other part 3 times. On 4th time when you hit the * start the Saxophone Solo.

Decending Riff E|---------------------| B|--10-9-8-7-6-5-4-----| G|------------------5--| x 7 (fade out on 8) D|---------------------| A|---------------------| E|---------------------| Followed by the opening guitar riff with a few slight variations. You should be able to it out. Horn Riff Then... Background Riff x 1 1/2 Instead of going to the sax solo on the * though, go straight to main riff. It then fades out doing the main riff. It just repeats in some order. Not too hard to it out. P.S. - if you figure out any chords that work for the horn part, please email me them.
