Wow I'm rusty ...

So I'm trying to figure this out:

http://www.911tabs.com/link/?274776

(It's cut and pasted below - but you know how the formatting gets a
little wonky in some newsreaders ... the link may be easier).

The tabber has done this in six lines. Line 2 ends with a repeat mark.
Line 4 is labelled "1" and ends with a repeat mark. Line 5 is labelled
"2" and ends with a repeat mark.

LIne 6 is clearly the chorus. Let's ignore that for the moment.

Is the correct way to play this (by line numbers)

1 2 3 4 3 5 3 4 3 5?

Does that make any sense at all? Am I reading it correctly?

Believe it or not, I tried that first.

But since I'm having a hard time understanding how to play bar 9, I'm
also having a hard time figuring out what part of the song it is.

Gotcha!

That you very much. That was exactly the information I was looking for!

(although if anybody feels like listening to the song and pointing out
what lyrics are being sung over bar 9, to help me find it and figure it
out, that'd be helpful, too!)
