end of verse
In measure 9 of first verse, there's a slight nuance:
| 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & |
==========================
|----7--7-----7--0--0--0-|
|----6--6-----6--6--6--6-|
|----4--4-----4--4--4--3-|
|----5--5-----5--5--5--5-|
|------------------------|
|------------------------|
Return to INTRO for second time, then VERSE for second time, however, there
is a slight nuance of the second verse, measure 5 which is the same as
the above nuance. Also, measure 8 of the second verse varies slightly:
| 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & |
==========================
|-5--5-----5--5--5--7/ 8\|
|-3--3-----3--3--3--6/ 8\|
|-------------------4/ 5\|
|-3--2-----5--2--3--5/ 6\|

end of second verse
Return to INTRO for third time, however measures 5 thru 9 change:
| 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & | 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & | 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & |
============================================================================

Then the 3rd verse continues, however, the first 4 measures of the verse that
are repeated 3 times in the 1st and 2nd verses, are repeated 4 times in the
3rd verse.
The 24th measure of the 3rd verse starts VERSE PRIME:

Repeat the last 4 measures 3 more times, however on the
last repeat, substitute the following for the last measure:
| 1 & a 2 & 3 & 4 & |
===========================
|----5-5-5--0--5--0--7/ 8\|
|----3-3-3--3--3--3--6/ 7\| Then the 4th verse is played, same as the 1st
|--------------------4/ 5\| verse, except the first 4 measures are played
|--------------------5/ 6\| 4 times instead of 3 times as in the 1st verse.
|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|
Note about the 4th verse: the last 2 measures are left off of the 4th
verse and it goes into the coda:
| 1 & 2 & 3 e & a 4 & | 1 & 2 & a 3 & 4 & |
