It is very open to improvisiation but if you stick to this main core you will make a noise that sounds a bit like the CD. In theory.

echo, just thrash around, improvise around the sections the song has been using up ‘til now. It eventually becomes a bit more coherent when Rich starts screaming ‘float on’…where you play something like this… ------------------------------------------------------------------17---------- -------------------------121212121212-14b--1212121212-16b-14b-13b------------- -------------12h14-12h14------------------------------------------------------ -12h14-12h14------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you wanna play for one more minute then you can figure that out yourself!
