================================================================
for electric rhythm part in  the bridge, I get this:
the electric guitar is tuned down 1/2 step to Eb

Starting with that lick before the bridge, which would now be
< = stretch up
> = release back down
+ = hammer-on


e|-------------------------------------------|
B|--14--14>--16>--14>------------------|
G|-----------------------------11------------|
D|-------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------|
(lick before bridge)

CHORDS(pick these notes out of the chord and hammer on where noted)
   E         B        A        E         E    B   A    E
e|--------------------------------------------7--------------------12|
B|---0--------------------------------9--9----7--14------------------|
G|--1------------------------------------9----8--14-----13+-14-13----|
D|-2-----------1+-2-------2------8+-9----9----9--14--14----------14--|
A|-----------2--------0-4------7-------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
 You struck me dumb                    Like radium    mm  mm

      G#m C#m     G#m C#m    (powerchords)B A E
Like peter pan or superman       You will come
  G#m7 C#m7             E  B  E
To save me  Come on and save me
             E G#m7 C#m7
If you could save me

          B            B+           G#m             C#
e|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------4------------4-------------4--------------6-------------------|
G|--------4------------4-------------4--------------6-------------------|
D|--------4------------5-------------6--------------6-------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
From the ranks of the freaks who suspect they could never love anyone 3x

A regular verse at that tuning would be:
  G#m    G#m-maj7 G#m7 G#m6     B    E   B    D#
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|-4--------4------4-----4------4----0---4----6-----------|
G|-4--------4------4-----4------4----1---4----6-----------|
D|-6--------5------4-----3------4----2---4----6-----------|
A|------------------------------2----2---2----8-----------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
  You look like            a perfect fit   etc.

That would be an arrangement to play electric guitar, tuned down 1/2 step, 
all the way thru, just playing quietly until the bridge
