ive seen some really $h!!ty guitar pro tabs and unfinished tabs for this
 so HERE IT IS. if you want it right DO IT YOURSELF. it might not
be completely perfect but its damn close. try it out and post any changes if
you think it helps.  im just going to tab out the riff and you
can piece them together.

Tuning:Drop C CGCFAD

e|------------------------------------------------------let these ring-------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------10----------------|
G|----------------------------------------0----------------------------------|
D|--------------------5----------5-----------------------------14------------|
A|----5-7-8-----5-7-8------5-7-8---8-7-5-------5/7-8/10/12--------12---------|
E|--0---------0----------0---------------------------------------------------|

for this riff i think you can play it in the open Am postion but it has a nice flow
up at the 5th with the slides  it sounds smoother

e|--------------------------------------------0------------------------------|
B|---------0-----------0--------------------3--3-----------------------------|
G|--------5-5---------4- 4h5p4\2h4p2------4-----5----------------------------|
D|-----------7----------------------0-2-3--3-3-------------------------------|
A|--0h5/7-------0h5/7--------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
play that 2x then to an open Am

e|-----0---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----1-1------0-------------------------------------------------------------|

D|--2--------3---3--2-2/--5-5------------------------------------------------|
A|-0--------2----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------2---2/5---------------------------------------------------|

heres the delay lead.  i have a POD and a jcm 800 amp with analog delay set
to dotted eigth notes works very nicely :) this is the jist of it and you can
fiddle around with this scale(in brackets)

e|-22\------17\------------------------------(13-15-17-20-22)----------------|
B|------18-------15-17-18--------------------(13-15-17------)----------------|

D|---------------------------------------15--(12-14-15------)----------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
the verse riff... all barre chords(its the same shape all the way through so 
im just going to write the root note to save time) pick AND slide them
at the same time 

e|-5-5--------------------------------------------0--------------------------|
B|-6-6--------------------------------------------1--------------------------|
G|-7-7--------------------------------------------2--------------------------|
D|-7-7--------------------------------------------2--------------------------|

A|-2-2----2-3333333----5-5----5-5----5---------------------------------------|
E|-2-2-00-2-3333333--------00-----00-----------------------------------------|

go back to the 2nd riff then
do the delay lead
then another verse
then this (im not to sure about the slide to the 3rd fret.  maybe its the bass?)

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----0-----0----------0-----0------4x---------------------------------------|
D|-----------5----------------4---------4-7-5-8------------------------------|
A|------------654--------------654------4-7-5-8------------------------------|
E|-0----0/3------6---0---0/3------6-----4-7-5-8------------------------------|

play that a couple times then..

  P.M                                    ^
e|---------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------4x--that riff-then--------------------------|
D|-0-2---0-4-0-0-4---0-5-2-0-1-----------------------4/7-7-9/12--------------|
A|-----3-----------3-----------3---------------------4/7-7-9/12--------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------4/7-7-9/12--------------|

then the diddlely diddlely tapping riff(imn just going to write it once but 
play each 3 times)

   T        T       T       T       T      T      T      T
e|-22p10p0--21p9p0--19p7p0--18p6p0-------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------21p9p0-20p8p0-18p6p0-17p5p0--------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
  ^-------------------------------^
then just the first half and this at the end

e|-10-9-7---------10-9-7-----------------------------------------------------|

G|------------------------------9-7-6----------------------------------------|
