Wow….it took me a grand total of about 2 or 3 hours to tab this whole freakin’ song! I 
to keep flipping through the song, tabbing out what I could and I ended up with this. 
I hope you guys enjoy, because I busted my chops over this tab. At least it’s the whole song. Peace out.

Legend:

/or\   Legato slide   (slide to the next note without striking it)
b      Bend           (assume as quarter bend if it is by itself. Ex, 3b NOT 3b4)
r      Release bend   (release bend back to original position)
h      Hammer-on      (strike note with fretting hand without the pick attack)
p      Pull-off       (quickly pull fretting hand off of the note without pick attack)
~~~    Vibrato        (rapidly bend and release to give a tremolo effect)
()     Ghost Note     (note rung out into other notes)
tr~~   Trill          (hammer-on and pull-off rapidly between the 2 notes shown)
.      Staccato notes (make the note short and choppy)
+      Tapping        (use pick or index finger to hammer on note)
>      Pick scrape    (scrape the pick down the strings towards the bridge)
<      Pick scrape    (scrape pick down the strings towards headstock)

Acoustic (finger picking)

With the finger picking, use the index finger and thumb, pull the string outward and 
to make a twanging sound.
