During the Loch Ness Monster part of the song (as I call it), I just hit an
F# major chord, turn on a lot of delay, and do some long scratchy pick slides,
then repeat the part behind the moaning at the beginning of the song.
The rest of the song repeats the same figures above, except for the very end
which I'll show below.
"cottage on the shore........of a dark....... "
