Got it. Those are all really nice, and I know this ending more than I remembered when you first posted. (Thanks, Porter)

Following rayc's lead, I was able to get an I've Got a Tiger style ending as shown below. Bar 3 is 3 beats (F5) and uses microchords to place the B chord before the final sustained E. Bar 4 is back to 4 beats (F5 again). The E decays over 3+ bars but could perhaps use a fade.
