Spent a good while with this, my first tab, pretty sure its whats on the album.
I am however mainly a drummer and had no hope in tabbing the overdubbed guitar
parts.  Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Yeah you're missing the pinch harmonic in the verse, and there's also a flutter in the chorus right before right before the sliding octaves
