Phew.. That was the "intro," now for the final part:

First you should play this:

D|-0--1--0--4--3--1--1--2--3--1--1--1--
A|-0--1--0--4--3--1--1--2--3--1--1--1--
D|-0--1--0--4--3--1--1--2--3--1--1--1--
                  *

Then right after, play this:

D|-1--1--4--3--1--1--2--3--1--1--1--
A|-1--1--4--3--1--1--2--3--1--1--1-- 6x
D|-1--1--4--3--1--1--2--3--1--1--1--
   *  *        *  *        *  *

D|-1--1--4--3--1--1--2--3--1--1--4--1--1--5--
A|-1--1--4--3--1--1--2--3--1--1--4--1--1--5--
D|-1--1--4--3--1--1--2--3--1--1--4--1--1--5--
   *  *        *  *        *  *     *  *

D|-5--5--5--5--5--5--5-----5--0--3-----
A|-5--5--5--5--5--5--5-----5--0--3--5--
D|-5--5--5--5--5--5--5-----5--0--3-----
      .  .  .  .  .  .

D|-4--4--4--4--5-----------------5-----3--

Then it gets outta control but I've done the best I possibly could.
