Go to bridge then chorus.

I added support vocal over the D Dm7 sliding part:
Hertford is the mummy town x 4
To make the song shorter, I do the chorus once rather than looped but the
Follow up lyric gets appended before the next verse can happen:
Find those mummies and take them down happens during chords that are the tail end of the chorus.
