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.
