This tab is from OLGA.  It is incomplete.

Tabbed by: J-Punk <kalwin@seidata.com>

Notes:
 This is kind of 2 guitars for 1.  Guitar 1 (the top 3 strings) is
 clean with chorusing. Guitar 2 (the bottom 3 strings) is distorted.
 I supplied the counting (this one's tricky).

INTRO
(fade in)      intro fill
     1 2 3 4    1(2)+ + +   1 2 (3,4)
e:---8-8-8-8--|-8---6-3-4-|-4-1------|
B:---8-8-8-8-*|-8---6-3-4-|-4-1------|
G:4--8-8-8-8--|-8---7-3-5-|-5-1------|
D:4-----------|-----------|----------|
A:-----------*|-----------|----------|
E:------------|-----------|----------|


VERSE
   2 4   2 +   1 3   1 + 4

Play verse x5 (fill to prechorus 5th x, I can't figure it out)

A:-6-6-13-13-|-13-12-6-|

Gtr 2 can use  X688XX and   X577XX
       for   (11)(13)(13)XXX and (10)(12)(12)XXX
for tab sake, I used the high chords

Play Prechorus some more,then play the intro fill
