The rest of the song is just variations on fill C.

Occasionally a second guitar plays this:

----------|-------||
----------|-------||
----------|-------||
----------|-------||
--1---1-2-|--(2)--||
--2---2-3-|--(3)--||

For this ending and for verse C and fill C, experiment until you find

something that sounds right to you. I could very well be wrong in my

transcription. Don't hold it against me!
