Usually here would come the outro "Enlarge your world..."-Outro. But since this is made
solo guitar i recommend  plucking the chorus once then strum the regular A-chord ULTRA SLOWLY:

b|------------D------------------------|
G|---------A#--------------------------|
D|------F------------------------------|   AND LET RING
A|--A#---------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------|  x2
