2. Song verse:
                
                Dm                | Bb
                Have you seen the   Mystic Queen
                C                 | Dm   C    Bb
                Riding in her -     li - mou -sine
                Bb                | Bb
                Over hills and      over dales 'til 
                Am                | Am
                morning...

                Dm                | Bb
                If you like I'll    take you there
                C                 | Dm   C    Bb
          we'll Find some colours   you  can  wear
                Bb                | Bb
                Colour that you've  only seen while 
                Am                | Am
                sleeping.

Play as much open strings as you can. I think the play:
Dm: x-x-0-2-3-1
C:  x-3-2-0-1-0
Bb: x-1-3-3-3-1
Am: x-0-2-2-1-0

3. First chords sequence

Repeat this line again.
Then comes the guitar line along with the organ line:

4. Second chords sequence
Generally the chord sequence goes this way:

        Dm | Dm | C | C | Am | Am | Bb | D#

Guitar plays the chords using barre:
        Dm: x-5-7-7-6-5
        C:  x-3-5-5-5-3
        Am: 5-7-7-5-5-5
        Bb: 6-8-8-7-6-6
        D#: x-6-8-8-8-6
Organ plays the chords (some times with arpeggio) twice. On the first cycle,
the first two Dm are played as a "bang" Dm, then a pause, till everybody joins
in on the C. The second cycle just flows. On the third cycle yet another 
simple guitar solo comes in:

          Dm                C
          1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4  
        E:--------|----5-6-|5-------|----5-6-|
Guitar: B:6-------|6-8-----|----5---|--------|
        G:--------|--------|--------|--------|
                  
          Am                Bb       D#
        E:5-------|--------|--------|--------|    
        B:----5---|--------/6-5---6-/8-6---68|  
        G:--------|--------|----7---|----8---|  

Repeat this line for three sequences, in the third time modify slightly by 
little tremoloes.

          Dm                C            CBBb - from now on drop from C to Am
          1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4    with major chords.
        E:--------|--------|--------|--------|
Guitar: B:6---6---|6---6---|565-----|--------|
        G:--------|--------|----5---|--------|
        
          Am                Bb       D#
        E:--------|--------|--------|--------|    
        B:8-------|6---5---/6-------/8-------|  
        G:--------|--------|--------|--------|  

          Dm                C        CBBb 
                            111
        E:/13-----/13-/13--/232-----|--------|
        B:--------|--------|---13---|--------|
        G:--------|--------|--------|--------|
                  
          Am                Bb       D#
        E:/12-----/12------|13------|15------|    
        B:--------|--------|--------|--------|  
        G:--------|--------|--------|--------|  
                  
          Dm                C        CBBb 
                            111
        E:/13-----/13-/13--/232-----|--------|
        B:--------|--------|---13---|--------|
        G:--------|--------|--------|--------|
                  
          Am                Bb       D#
        E:/12-----/12------|13------|15------|    
        B:--------|--------|--------|--------|  
        G:--------|--------|--------|--------|  

5. Solos end:
          1  2 3 4  1 2 3 4  1  2 3 4  1 2 3 4  1  2 3 4  1 2 3 4
Guitar  E:-10-8-6-5|-3-1----|-10-8-6-5|-3-1----|-10-8-6-5|-3-1----|
& Organ B:10-8-6-5-|3-1--53-|10-8-6-5-|3-1--53-|10-8-6-5-|3-1---5-|
Unison  G:---------|----3---|---------|----3---|---------|----3---|

The sequence slows down at the end, so that the last note (D - 3rd fret on
fifth string), and the whole thing sums up into the opening sequence:

6. Second Intro - the same as the first

7. Second song verse - the same as the first, ends into the epilogue...

8. Epilogue:
Organ:      Dm | Dm

Guitar (using volume pedal?) plays:

          Dm        Bb        C         A7           A7: x-0-2-1-2-0
