In this part you can hear the 2nd guitar playing some riffs:
Drowning...          in a river...
Drowning... in a river... of tears...
            
                               B|------------|
                               G|-7/9-10-9-5-|
                               D|------------|
Drowning in a river...
                              
                               B|------------|
                               G|-5-7/10-9-5-|
                               D|------------|
I fell like I^Òm drowning...
                         
                               B|--------------|
                               G|-7/10-12-10-7-| 
                               D|--------------|

                               D|------------|

And then the 1st guitar repeats some riffs from of the intro, with the
2nd guitar playing some riffs,
I^Òll write s symbol (♫) to indicate when the second guitar comes
in:

Chorus:
