You, you...
Continue singing “You” through the outro to end This is my interpretation/version of the song and is what I hear. Since U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have included all of them in this transcription. Please feel free to experiment with your own chord voicings. I have rated this one as intermediate, even though it uses a lot of open chords. It still has one barre chord and the ending has three jazz chords using standard fingerings. Even if you can't play the barre chord and the jazz chords at the end, don't be afraid to play the rest of this beautiful song. Practice the more difficult chords and you'll eventually get them.
