(^^I am not exactly sure about this but this sounds pretty similar. I suggest playing
these chords and listening to the song until you figure out when the actual chord changes
place.)
02:57:

(Listen to the song to see how many times its done).
Then @ 03:25, Shikhar starts playing a slight variation of Lick 3:
03:25. Lick 5: (Whered everyone go…):
Eb-------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb-------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab--4h5p4------------------4h5p4-------------------------------|
Db-------7-6p4-4-4/6-7/9---------7-6p4-4--4/6---7-6p4----------|
Ab-------------------------------------------------------------|
Db-------------------------------------------------------------|
(Listen to the song to see how many times its done).
03: 44 - The main riff once again.
04:03 - Lick 4.
After this, starting at 04:17, Shikhar goes back to playing Lick 5 while Diwas fiddles
with his guitar (what he does I have no clue about). This goes on for a while until the
comes to an end with the top two open strings (Db5 I guess).
Thank You. Tabbing is a fucking bitch.
