It's a pretty ad-lib sort of song so you can repeat as many times
as you like and then end off by playing an Chord diagramE MajorE major chord in root
position.

It sounds best (and is probably easiest to play) finger-picked using the
thumb,
first, and middle fingers. The pattern is t-i-m-t-i-m-t-i.
