The intro sounds great, exept you left out a few notes, copy and paste this into notepad (I put stars by the notes i added, and x's where i took notes out) 1a) e-----7-7-12-12-12--7-7-8-7-10-7h8p7p0*-7---7-----------7 B-8-8---------------0-x*--0-------------7---7--7-----7--7 G-9-9-7-7-9--9--9---0-x*--0-------------7---7---7--7----7 D-----------------------------------------9*-----9------- A-------------------------------------------------------- E-------------------------------------------------------- 1b) continued e-10-10-10-------------------------------- B-8--10----7-8-7h8p7---------------------- G----11----7-x*------9*-7s9*-11*-9*------- D----12--------------0*------------------- A------------------------------------/9-7- E----------------------------------0------

Dude this tab looks really good except for a part in the beggining instead of the [tab} e----10-10------------------------------- B----8--10-7-8-7h8p7--------------------- G----------7-7-------7-9/11\9------------ D---------------------------------------- A-------------------------------/9-7----- E-----------------------------0---------- [/tab} It sounded like {tab} e--10-10----------------------------- B--8--10-7-8-7h8p7--7---------------- G--------7-7-------9-9--------------- D------------------------------------ A------------------------------/9-7-- E----------------------------0------- And a little bit on the interlude section (A min) but I haven't got that yet. But really good job dude this the best tab on this song I've seen.

the intro (figure 3) ) is easier to play in dadgad tuning or in drop D like that --------- --------- --------- -4-4--4-2 -4-4--4-2 -4-4--4-2 etc
