This part does pose a little problem.

10--12---3--|
-8--10---5--|
-5---8---3--|

This ending is different than the ending in the song but it sounds the same and
acts as a good ending for an acoustic version. Just strum/pick it slowly and
ambiently then fade it out.

slow?

I can't imagine that sounding good. One of the great things about that song is the energy.

Ok so I listened to it...it's awful, IMO. It's not only slow, but so dreadfully slow. Also he uses a lot of the wrong chords and makes it more bland.
