Topic: Need help with song of yesterday chord

What chord is Joe playing at the end where he hums? I'm having a hard time hearing it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Is it open a string, 7th fret d string, 5th fret g string, 8th fret b string with palm muting?

Are you implying the variation of power chords he uses in Bridge To Better Days?
