Let the last chord ring out.

I like to do this little fill right here to go with the lead (or some variation in the same C minor pentatonic):
C|--------------------------------|
A|-10-13p12p10--------------------|
F|-------------12p10----12b13--10-|
C|-------------------12-----------|

C|-----------------------------------------------------------------0-----0-----0-------|
                                                               * * * * * * * * * * * *  
Play this twice.

It's all stuff that's already listed here until:

BRIDGE

                  Repeat this partitioned bit here a bunch. On the second to last repeat, replace the open C 
with a 5, and on the last repeat, replace it with an 8 on the second string (G string in this tuning).

BRIDGE (LEAD)

D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-13\10---8/13---15\12---13\8---13\10---8/13---13/15\13---15/17--15/17---15/18--20--18--20b22--20b22\-|

OUTRO

This is really the only instance where tuning to C Standard makes the song easier to play.
