Yeah, you`re right. Eaug is with a C, thanks, I`ll correct it soon.

I've been looking through tabs for this song, trying to see if it's possible to find one that has the change in pitch effect like the song. Great work on the tab, the drop C# tuning really does it.

Just a quick remark. I'm no expert on chord names, but isn't the Eaug an A chord? I'm just trying to work it out on piano, so I noticed that. The chord's fine, just I think the name's wrong.
