- It's hard to match the energy of the final chorus with just your acousticguitar, but strumming it strongly while picking up the tempo some will help.

- This ending is different than the ending in the song but it sounds the same andacts as a good ending for an acoustic version. Just strum/pick it slowly and
- ambiently then fade it out.-5----8----7---7---7-|
