end on G6
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

The picking he does is like this...
during the verse+bridge he simply doubles the basses and plays the notes of the middle 
index finger
So a G would be:
e|------|
B|----3-|
G|----0-|
D|------|
A|------|
E|--3-3-|
At the end of each line he plays a D and what you hear is
e|-------|
B|----3--|
G|-----2-|
D|-0-0---|
A|-------|
E|-------|
...during the chorus the picking is like this -- i guess
e|-----3-----0---0-----|
B|----0-----0---1------|
G|---0-----0---0-------|
D|-------------------0-|
A|-------------3-------|
E|--3-----0------------|
And finally the G6 at the end is played like that:
e|--0--
B|--0--
G|-----
