The ending/outro is simply the chorus repeated except with the A7 used.
I hope its not too confusing but the chord progressions are pretty easy to figure out as
is the picking pattern. Thing song mostly repeats itself.
This is pretty spot on. This took a while so if I made any mistakes just let me know. I
got most of it from watching her on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeHUJc_xHQs
Thanks and God bless!
