Outro: There?s two ways you can play the ending, the first way is used more when using 2 guitars. The second way is if your playing with one guitar, it sounds a little more fuller. First way: ?Hands Down...? eb|--4--------5--------7--------7--------| Bb|--5--------5--------7--------7--------| Gb|--6--------6--------9--------8--------| Db|--6?---?---7--------9--------9--------| Ab|--4--------7--------7--------9--------| Eb|--4--------5--------7--------7--------| Play this all the way until the end of the song. Second Way. ?Hands Down...? eb|--4--------5--------0--------0---------| Bb|--5--------5--------0--------0---------| Gb|--6--------6--------1--------8---------| Db|--6?---?---7--------2--------9---------| Ab|--4--------7--------2--------9---------| Eb|--4--------5--------0--------7---------| Play this all the way until the end of the song. I?m too busy to write the strumming right now so just figure it out on your own I guess, its really easy.
