Then do two lots of riff1.
Verse 2 has the same chord sequence, ending with another riff2.
Then do two more riff1s

Cadd2    Am11  Gm7

Gm7                          Am7

The Gm7 and Am7 chords are like this :
 
DADGBD   DADGBD

After this middle 8 comes the solo over the same chord sequence
as the verse (i.e D5, Am11, Cadd2, G5 then riff2).
