If this isn't right, I think it's pretty damned close. I'm just going
by memory right now and any corrections are of course welcome.

There is a short series of harmonics after this which can be
simulated pretty close with the B G and D strings muted just
enough so they don't ring clear.

Outro - Bm  E  A

(still working on the tab for the outro as well, it's progressing a
little slower)

Anyone who has it figured out let me know.

I think the chords are really close and thanks goes out to Jason Neus
for letting me use 'em, and any errors are probably mine - not his.
