It's not in the original, it's just become "traditional" to play a single bar at the end instead of the "real" ending when doing a cover. It matches and sound's better in my opinion than the real ending.

Not sure what you're talking about: it's a melody in the original. It's in the first eight bars and repeats throughout the song.
