I finally decided to release my tabs to the public (check the bottom for the
reason why I didn't in the first place).
Tuning:Here is Stephen's REAL tuning G#,C#,F#,B,E,G#,C#. Thats 4 1/2 steps down
from regular tuning and 2 1/2 steps down for 7 string. I play these on a regular
Guitar so I don't have the extra C# but it still sounds 99-100% correct.
Note: You gotta play this song with style or it wont sound right.
Intro
Guitar 1 each time you play it bring in a little more distortion
The last time around the end changes a bit.

During the first verse before he start singing:

A#|-3-3-3-3---3-3---3-3-3-3---3-3----3-3-3-3---3-3---3-3-3-3-----------------|

Then at the end he plays:
its kinda a freestyle so just fool with it. He lets off the 12 sometimes
(watch the writing sessions on the CD).
