Second chorus is almost the same as first; Fig.4. (End is a little different; use your ears).

It has one variation, which uses more of the open E string, but the same chords. Note: I play all the chords of Fig.6 with the root on the E string because of the sliding of the last chord in the sequence (B in first; C in second), especially the last chord of the song.
