if you're having trouble to make the chord change)

For the outro there are the chords of the first guitar (acoustic one):
(Note : i'm not sure about the Gm)
 
D D7 G Gm
 
(Note : I've put a blank box (0) to help you find the rhythm when you change chords)
(And you got a lot of improvisation in the studio one)

For the G chord, you got two options
(Note : It depends on your preferences (it's still easier to change the chords with the second option))
 
this or this
 
e|-3--------3-----|
B|-3--------3-----|
G|-0--------4-----|
D|-0--------5-----|
A|-2--------5-----|
E|-3--------3-----|
 
For the electric one (its not the distorted) :
(Note : The outro changes just a bit but if you practice, you'll be able to find it (I guess))
 
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-7---7---8-7-----------7---8-7---------8-----8-----------8---10-8---|
G|-------------------5-----------------7-----7-----7-----7------------|
D|---------------5/7---7-----------7/9---------------7/8--------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

G|---------------7-5------------------7------------7-----7------------|
D|-------------------7------------7/9----------------7/8--------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
That's all I've managed to do, maybe I'll update it later (the distorted guitar is still missing and the
end of the outro melody).
 
If you find any errors or have any queries, please do not hesitate to comment.
 
Have fun !
