It's not a 12-string but two separate guitars doubling the bass in the chorus. These multitracks come from Rock Band, where they put most of this riff to the bass track, but the ending is actually on the Piano/Organ/Castanets track (this is pretty common for multitracks of these games, for gameplay and technical purposes). Listen at 20:29, you will hear the final note ringing on two guitars, but then only one of them does a quick slide up. Same thing at 22:09-22:12.
