The cool final strum pattern is
d udu d udu d udu d d d
Gradually slow it, then strum the final chord
once and go into the fingerpicking part with the
same chords. I'm not positive on the picking
pattern.

Fingerpicking part (do 2 reps for each chord,
gradually slow and at the end pluck the highest
and lowest strings together.
