(The bracketed notes only occur occasionally. This can sound
a bit thin unaccompanied, so one alternative is to play the
(0)'s as 4's.)
Link to v2 is just the "saddle up" section
Link into v3:

|--------|--------|1-1-----|1-----1-|3---3-1-|--1-----|--------|--------|
(*)
(twice: second time do 6 bars then go into intro/verse pattern)
(again, if unaccompanied, the chord at * might sound better as
3x320, as it includes a note that is otherwise only in the
string section)
End of last chorus:
|--------|--------|
"who leaves his armour..." |----0---|--0-----| ..."down"
|----0---|--0-----|
|----1-1-|--1-1-1-|
|0-0-----|0-------|
