> the second verse first, and then break into the bridge one bar
> earlier than usual. Transpose the bridge up a minor third, but then
> back down again for the last three bars of it. Then add a 5/4 bar
> going back into the FIRST chorus, singing on only off-beats. During
> the sax solo, go to the bridge a bar-and-a-HALF too early,
> interrupting the solo, finish the first verse, go to the coda a bar
> late, and then keep singing for a full 3 beats after the band has
> ended."
