The last notes ( <12> ) on strings B and E are harmonics.
If you are a beginner player, and you don't know what harmonics are, just
play them open (0) to end the song.
If you are an intermediate player, feel free to add some slides here and
there. Let the bass notes ring out as long as possible.
Enjoy!
