outro :
vamp on D5

* note * if you prefer , you can play the F/C in place of the Csus4 throughout the song .
i think the open note sounds better , and is what is being played on the album .
try both and you’ll agree it’s very hard to tell .
the F/C looks like this :

D – 1
A – 1
F – 2
C – 3
G – 3
C – x
