You could leave the E string out if you'd like (especially for the last note,)
I just included it to mimic the album version better.

This chart just above is at the same speed as other charts except for
the fast part at the end. You can leave the fast part out if you want.

The E notes in brackets ("ghost notes") are either quiet or are on guitar.
My ears tell me they don't sound like they're played with a guitar pick.
