12th fret harmonic at end.

Verse 2 & 3: (same chords as the first)

a few strange chord progressions follow the 2nd chorus; something like C, D, Em
a couple of times then F, G, A, and I believe the key changes to A and play all
the chords a whole step higher than they are written here.
(A E Fm D Dm)

a fiddle solo ensues, and the tempo increases and they fade out, singing verse
one gain.
