LAST 2 CHORDS: The last two chords of the song are ‘A‘ to ‘G‘. The effect at 
the end is achieved by using a Les Paul style guitar and turning the top 
volume, for the neck pickup, off and then whilst holding the G flicking the 
toggle switch quickly. It helps if you stand next to a loud amp aswell, 
because then you get the feedback starting to creep in!!!
