At the end of the riff, instead of strumming all of the strings open two times, they are strummed three times. It was a subtle change. Unless you were listening for it, you would never realize the slight difference. If you like, you can continue to strum the open strings three times, but because I am trying to tab this song as accurately as possible, I tabbed out the three strums.
