Play the first part just once and then:

Now the first guitar keeps playing the last chord (Em) and the 2nd guitar plays this
instead of the last chord:
 
e|--------------------------------------|
B|---------------14--11---9-9-9-9-9-7---|
G|-9--9--11--13-----------------------9-|  at the and play this x2 and then
D|--------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------|
 
e|---------------------------------|
B|------------------14--11--4-4----|
G|---9--9--11--13-----------4-4----|
D|--------------------------4-4-2--|
