Play last 2 bars of 1st SOLO

Note on chicka sound
Now throughout the entire song there are "chicka" sounds made by an
electric guitar.  If you listen to song you can't miss them.
They are really easy, because there are only a few shapes to them.
To figure out what to play, just match the chords up.
