D (See below)
I'm waiting on the day

For the outro of the studio version you essentially play improve on a D chord and 
alternate between three bass notes (first being Open D, Second being 3nd fret of 
Open A and third being 2nd fret of Open A). Play around with that and tweak it to 
whichever way suits you. Open for suggestions @ bendavidkremer@...gmail.com (minus 
the ...) - I've purposefully "dumbed down" the song so that beginners etc would be 
able to give it a crack.

Cheers,
Ben
