Notes:

In the live version of this song, the capo is at fret 2 instead of 1. It also features the
additional guitar in the instrumental section, and an alternate ending (returns to the 
opening theme
for 2 rounds with the 3 final chords plucked [Guitar 1: x0201x > x0203x > 0xx230; Guitar 
2: xx759x >
xx97Tx > xxT9T0]).

The live version contains some improvised ornaments in guitar #2 right before the 
closing riff.
Usually it's just one or two notes (8 on the B string & 9 on the G string) over the span 
of the
guitar #1 main riff. Watch one of their live performances on Youtube to see what I mean.


Thought I'd release this cohesive tab since Erland's part (guitar #2) is nowhere to be 
found online.
The tab above should be faithful to the 3-3-2 rhythm incase timing is an issue. Hope 
this helps
everyone out who loves this song as much as I do.
