Next it sounds like they overdubbed a second guitar part which just strums
a C (regular formation, not barred) while the lead guitar continues
playing the above riff. But to play it as a single guitar part just switch
to the C and strum around, maybe dropping the pinky on the third fret of the
D string every once and a while.
Outro:
C G

then the last phrase switches to
