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

Dylan stands alone against any backdrop. However, I finally shut a woman up one time by responding ' yea, he's great. But he did lots of shitty stuff too'. She happened to walk in when I had Dylan on my portable system on a job I was working on. She started ranting about how great he is, talking over the music. It was Blood On The Tracks:)

First thought was definitely "A day in the life", but absolutely nothing by the Allman Brothers. I don't think they have any idea how to end a song.

Sweet "Love is Like Oxygen", of course the ending to me is where the song just gets interesting. In other words, it ends way too soon.
