After this point, where the "oohs" come in, it is a combination of Gm chord
and C chord (either sounds great) strumming, with this on the top, repeated:
e|---3---3---3---3-| B|---3---3---3---3-| G|-----------------| D|-5---5---5---5---| A|-----------------| E|-----------------|
The song ends on a G major chord.
Enjoy, and please comment/rate!
