very good tab and sounds very good to play along the song with. i found a few things though that arent necessarily corrections, but more so "variations":

1) first of all, the whole main thing should be
e|----------------- e|-----------------
B|----------------- B|-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-3-
G|-8-8-8-7-7-7-7-7- G|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-
D|-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8- instead of D|-----------------
A|----------------- A|-----------------
E|----------------- E|-----------------
the reason being is that is makes for a much easier and fluent transition to the chords needed to play the chorus.

2) the big octave change in the second/third verses
e|---------------|---------------|---------
B|4-4-4-3-3-3-3-3|11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11--
G|3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3|---------------|---------
D|---------------|---------------|---------
A|---------------|---------------|---------
E|---------------|---------------|---------

e|13-13-13-11-11-11-11-11-11-11|10-10-10------------------|
B|-----------------------------|---------11-11-11-11-11-11|
G|-----------------------------|--------------------------|
D|-----------------------------|--------------------------|
A|-----------------------------|--------------------------|
E|-----------------------------|--------------------------|

e|13-13-13-11-11-11-11-11-11-11|10-10-10-18-18-18-18-18-18|

once again, not really different notes, just MUCH easier fingering and less sliding.

3)the solo. fingering once again, otherwise i found it bang on.
e|------6--|----6----| e|------6--|----6----|
B|1/3-3---4|3-4---4-3| B|---------|---------|
G|---------|---------| G|5/7-7---8|7-8---8-7|
D|---------|---------| VS. D|---------|---------|
A|---------|---------| A|---------|---------|
E|---------|---------| E|---------|---------|
just moved the sliding part from the b string down to the g string to avoid excessive and unnecessary hand motion, which consequently gives us a more fluent result.

hopefully you get something out of this correction and others who read it do to to make this song easier to play! its the best song against me has made to date, and i thought i'd give my input in an attempt to help make it more playable. enjoy :)
