The end is exactly the same, except you add the Bb7-A7 "goodbye" bit. Just hit these chords once. Again, listen to the CD and you can't miss it. If you are having troubles with the chords (as some new guitar players surely will) you can simplify them by using barre chords (since they are all standard form). It will not sound nearly as good, but that's just a suggestion. Don't let chords like Bm7 or F#m sound hard. They aren't. This is a great song, and it's pretty easy and fun to play. Singing it is a whole new ballgame though . Please send any questions, comments, or suggestions (possibly corrections) to negcreep@juno.com
