(so i threw...)
intro riff is played again
(oh well...)
The last time they play the A augmentedA D MajorD 
G+G there's a mildly
distorted electric guitar= =20 playing 12ths. I didn't
tab it out because i was only interested in an
acoustic version of the song, and Michael has a pretty
good version.
Here's what he had in his version:
