END CHORDS - LET RING

I hope this is okay to read. If you have any difficulties then
do email me. The structure of the piece is the main thing I'm
worried that people won't understand, so for those of you
baffled it goes like this...

END CHORDS

Really let the last few notes ring out. It gives the piece that
solemn feel to it. Also, carry the last E minor chord of the
break into the few words of the third verse. Please let me know
what you think of this either on email or on alt.guitar.tab. I
think it sounds really nice if played right, and it doesn't
matter whether you sing along to it or just play it on its own.
Either way it sounds quite `awesome'(as the kids at Camp last
year used to say!)
