Final chord 

Should be ok, and it only needs one guitar, although the ending sounds slightly
different on the song this is covered up by the extra drumming bit and the rhythm
guitar is pretty much the same as the bass but just chords so it doesnt make much
difference to the sound if it isnt there.
