After that you just repeat it until the end of the song. For the "Ah" part, you repeat the verse tabs.
"Here are the rest of the lyrics if you're interested.
Older father, weary soul, you'll drive,
back to the home you made on the mountainside.
With that ugly, terrible thing,
those papers for divorce, and a lonely ring.
A lonely ring.
Sit on your porch,
and pluck your strings.
And you'll find, somebody you can blame.
And you'll follow the creek that runs out into the sea.
...And you'll find the peace of the lord.
Grandfather, weary soul, you'll fly,
over your life once more before you die.
Since our grandma passed away,
you've waited for forever and a day,
just to die.
And someday soon,
you will die.
It was the only, woman you ever loved,
that got burned by the sun too often when she was young.
And the cancer spread around through her body and her blood.
And there's nothing you can do about it now.
