Note:on the end riff, it's a little hard to make out those final notes,etc.
I've got down what it sounded like to me.  I know for sure the last two chords are correct.
I'm not sure about the notes though.  They may be doing some sliding or something,
but in any case, that's the only trouble I was having with at the end.  Other than that,
it's all good.  Any corrections, comments, email me.:[
