I'm waiting on the day 

For the outro of the studio version you essentially play improve on a D chord and  
alternate between three bass notes (first being Open D, Second being 3nd fret of  
Open A and third being 2nd fret of Open A). Play around with that and tweak it to  
whichever way suits you. Open for suggestions @ [email protected] (m  us  
the ...) - I've purposefully "dumbed down" the song so that beginners etc would be  
able to give it a crack. 

Cheers,
