Verse 1 

Part 1:In this verse for 8 bars it's exactly the same as the second part of the intro. 
Part 2:Then there is the bit when the electric guitar comes in and that lasts for 4 bars. 
Part 3:After that there is a short bit 4 bars where there is no bass exactly like the intro 
and then you come in with the "aaaa ffff cccc gggg"
This applies also for the second verse.
