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!!!
