Songs With Best Ending

What songs do you think have the best endings? It could be the last minute or so, or maybe just the last chord. I'm not interested in the beginning or the middle, just the ending. Rock, classical, pop, jazz, any genre.

Here's the start of a list:

Love Reign O'er Me - The Who
1812 Overture - Tchaikovsky
Middle of the Road - Pretenders
Pictures at an Exhibition - Mussorgsky
The Musical Box - Genesis
Love to Love - UFO

Ditto with "Day in the Life" -

However, I can listen to the final two minutes of Roxy Music's "More than This" for hours and hours. Those layered keys, the sax, the guitars; the hypnotically steady rhythm - they all fade into sunset over and over.

Having watched "Woodstock" on VH1 this week, the ending chords of Hendrix's "Star Spangled Banner" are pretty distinctive and memorable for an entire generation.
