The LAST CHORUS is where the childrens choir sings in the studio version of this song,
as most of us dont have a childrens choir handy this version adds a nice little change
of pace so that the chorus doesnt get too repetitive. Anyways Tim is only playing
2 notes back and forth (Chord diagramBb majorBb - Chord diagramAbAb) before Dave starts playing the guitar again. The chords in
this part are my interpretation of what sounds good here, strum each once. Or you could
always just play the two notes like Tim does or simply slap the guitar in time using no chords at all.

Chords:   "*" after a chord means strum lightly once
