it stays as a D until the song is over. please use this opportunity to make it as epic
as you can, but for my sake keep those alternating open D's going. use all your fingers!
and when you want to end it you can cheap out and just play your two D's together. but
if you wanna impress your friends, make it a fast arpeggio with a nice D or Dsus2 chord
using all 5 fingers.
you could do a couple of cool cadences. the most predicable one is A7 (x02020) to D. if
you want to go the cadence route but you don't like predicability of it, do your A7 but
throw in some F#-G and back again notes in there, then end it with a D the way that i've
suggested you voice it throughout the tab. or you can slow down the main riff as you play
it and end with a fully voiced D. or even bring the E7 back into it! yes, most of them
sound cheesy, but if you're lacking an extra 2 guitars and a string section you gotta
make do sometimes.
the main point is, i only made this tab because the chords in the other one didn't have
the correct bridge (the Bm and E7), they don't stress the importance of drop d'ing and
alternating the open D's, and i have no idea where they got the idea to go to a Csus2
for the meet me under part of the chorus. i saw two 15 year old girls play covers on youtube
which lack the two former, and included the latter. it made me slightly angry because
such a beautiful song deserves much better.
