The interlude on the studio version was hard to pick up, so I went with what Rich plays 
live shows.  Same basic idea, just different picking patterns.

During many of the post-hiatus live versions, this song featured a long spacey jam after
interlude in the key of C.  The jam was usually split into two parts, and was bridged
by a distinct riff (Jam Riff 1):

Jam Riff 1:
CE|----------------------------------|----------|
AE|----------------------------------|----------|
F------------7-7-----------------7-9b11-7----|
C--7-7-7-7-9-----9--0--7-7-7-7-9----------0--|
FE|----------------------------------|----------|
CE|----------------------------------|----------|

After this, the improvisation continued and each band member went in their own direction
it was time to bring the song back together for a final chorus.  This was done using
Riff 2:

Jam Riff 2:

B|--5--3--1--0--1--3--7--|
G|--0--0--0--0--0--0--7--| x3
D|--0--0--0--0--0--0--x--|
A|--5--4--2--0--2--4--7--|
E|--------------------0--|

Hold/strum the C chord for a few measures each time the first part to this riff is played.
