Note About the Middle: It sounds to me as if this section is built around
an E chord with the top string muted, so it climbs and descends on the
B string (B-C#-D-C#-G#). After "...sound in mind" the B string sounds muted
so the G# is the highest note in the chord. The same is true for the next
part with the G chord (B-C#-D-C#).
