On the second time through play it open, slowly building in intensity to bring you into the outro.

A-----------------------------------------------------------------| E-----------------------------------------------------------------| Claudio has the Theremin going for most of the outro, but I don't feel like taking all the time to tab out a minor part. There isn't a solid melody to it, it's mostly improv.
