I'm trying to figure out how to play the keyboard riff at 2:54 in "99 Luftballons" by Nena. Can I get another pair of ears on this?
I'm playing in G on standard GCEA tuning. I think a chord melody is a great idea, but I don't know which notes to play--can you help me?

You could also end on the G chord (instead of just the last single note) for a big finish, since the songs ends abruptly on that note:
:G:::::::: Am:::::: C::::: D::::::::::: G::::::: Am:::::: C::::: D::::::: G
