This alternative ending was played at Glastonbury '97,
it follows the string ending to the recorded version.
the intro can be played as the outro in its stead if you want.

A# should probably be Gm (i.e. the relative minor of A#) During "rhythm fill 1" one can also strum Gm / C. To play this song in complete baby mode, tune down half a step and play G, Em, Am, C, D, G. =) Otherwise, nice work.
