ENDING

That's pretty much the whole song. The strumming patterns probably not
exact, just listen to the CD and you'll get a feel for the right patterns.
The bassline is pretty simplified because I'm not a true bass player. I
know Mike Dirnt adds his stuff in between, but I just gave the basic idea.
