The reason being is that there's a screechingly high note just at the end there that sounds like a very high C. There are a few ways to get this note using an octave pedal, a whammy pedal, or you could reach above the fretboard past the neck pickup of your guitar and hold down the string to the point where the 32nd fret would be. Either way it does give the same basic effect. That is pretty much the whole song. Just repeat the parts as necessary.
