You must listen to the song for timing.  I've given just a tiny guide by
including
the words.  The words are not exactly in time.  So listen to the song.
 
I pretty sure i got most of this right.  There are so many small changes it's
hard to keep 
track of them all so i did my best to transcribe it.
