Hello....  I took about 2 hours and improved the chords to this song.  Everything is 
more thorough, and all the chord changed are exact, I just finished listening to the song.  
this helps a little better.

Credit to Yoshima for tabbing the original version of this, with some of his 
still intact.

Happy jamming =)    -LM
