Its quite tricky compared to the rest of the song. Try it slow if you can't manage it yet, you'll get it eventually.

I'm assuming that its right as I had my speaker system panned right and left to work it out. Still feel free to offer your interpretations of it in the comments if you want. I'm not 100% sure of this.
