After this point, where the "oohs" come in, it is a combination of Gm chord
and C chord (either sounds great) strumming, with this on the top, repeated:

B|---3---3---3---3-|
G|-----------------|
D|-5---5---5---5---|
A|-----------------|
E|-----------------|


The song ends on a G major chord.


Enjoy, and please comment/rate!
