Well, most of this song is played on piano (um, all of it I think) but
live I believe she does it on guitar, or so I've been told/led to
believe, so here's a good arrangement.
Listen to the record for rhythms.

Repeat that last line till the end. As the song is in A, end on an A
chord, unless by some strange act of God you can fade yourself out like
on the record...
