Tuning:  Drop C

I noticed that this song hasn't been tabbed so I thought I would give it a try.  I know 
is not 100% correct but I think I at least got some parts right.

Not a bad tab. One thing that gets me, though. If the song is in Drop C tuning, then shouldn't the strings be labeled accordingly? For me, it gets confusing when the tuning is labeled as Drop C at the top and the string labels on the left are of a different tuning.

Sorry about that. I used the template from this website to save time and forgot to label the strings according to the tuning.

the chord for the interlude is a tricky one and i havent tried(your interpretation) yet but ive been playing by ear and this chord sounds really similar:
d|----7---7---
A|---8------8-
F|--7---------
C|-9----------
G|7-----------
C|

i havent found the variation of that chord yet, because they play it different 3 times in that breakdown.

I want to post comment or correction [tab]
