How about “Day in the Life” from the Sgt. Pepper’s Album? It has both a chord as a definite ending, and a fade out, but is it either?

"A Day in the Life" ends with a perdendosi ("getting lost"), in which the note fades away.

“Perdendosi”, that’s great. Thanks for the new word. Now, if I only knew how to pronounce it, I might be able to use it in sentence one day.

I like it. Pelosi perdendosi... something that should just fade away and die.

So that's what they call it. I've heard it called a “tail”. I make my own music for fun and, with the dynamic range afforded by digital always try to allow a good three or four seconds for it to “tail” off to complete silence.
