Any corrections, praises, death-threats or other rants are welcome.
(note:I've integrated much of the song-structure into the actual tab)
Tune your guitar down 1/2 step.

RIFF 1 (X2) -vocals start-

right after the piano)

RIFF 2.B (X1) (this is actually the above riff doubled by a second guitar
from
a higher octave, but I decided to arrange this as 2 guitars
for
one - sounds good enough)

- repeat Riff 1 (X2), but without the arpeggios - i.e. just strum the
chords
- repeat Riffs 2.a,b,c (note: some slight variations appear here and there.
I'm too tired to tab them. Just listen to the song,
they're nothing noteworthy anyway)
CHORUS (X4) (guitar 2 does some weird shit, but it's virtually impossible
to make any sense of it)

On the 3rd repeat of the chorus, switch to this: (X4)

The song ends with the A5 power-chord:

|--7--|
|--7--|
|--5--| ...and fade-out...
OUTRO -piano-
(you can improvise some arpeggios with your guitar similar to Riff 1.)
Well, that's it. This is one hell of a song from one hell of a band!
