in the second half of the song, a little bit of extra stuff is added to the verse and
chorus parts

For the ending, around the 3 min mark, start the sped-up middle part again, the A and D
notes on the B and E strings, and then the D chord.
And around the 3:23 mark, a second guitar playing D and C# notes at a higher octave
comes in. You incorporate this by playing the D chord like this
||-10-10-10–9-9|————–|-10-10-10–9–9|————–||
||-7–7—7–7-7|————–|-10-10-10-10-10|————–||

||-7–7—7–7-7|————–|-12-12-12-12-12|————–||
||————–|————–|—————|————–||
||————–|————–|—————|————–||
End on a D chord in the 1st position and let ring. Thats it!
