[Outro 1]
There are actually two parts to the outro. When the main string melody kicks in, at
about 3:55, the following
16-bar pattern begins. As there are no words, I've added the individual beats to make it
clear when the
chord changes take place.
Em . . . Em . . . C . . . G . . .

[Outro 2]
The second part of the outro, from 4:13 onwards, is more straightforward:
