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

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
