 we're calling everyone to ride along 
 E      E7       E F F#

 we can laugh our lives away 
        Dsus2  D       Dsus2  D 
 and be free once more

   during 1st solo...) 
 
  (...now go back and sing/play 1st eight lines of verse (up to 
   and including "and be free once more" line...)) 
 
  (..finally, sing/play chorus again 2x, and then just play 
     chorus chords as 2nd solo fades out)
