For the ending, around the 3 min mark, start the sped-up middle part again, the A and D  
notes on the B and E strings, and then the D chord. 

And around the 3:23 mark, a second guitar playing D and C# notes at a higher octave  
comes in. You incorporate this by playing the D chord like this 

||-10-10-10--9-9|--------------|-10-10-10--9--9|--------------|| 
||-7--7---7--7-7|--------------|-10-10-10-10-10|--------------||

End on a D chord in the 1st position and let ring. Thats it!
