Ok well that's pretty much it.  I tried to make it as less confusing as 
I 
could, but that song has a lot of different parts.  Also in the studio 
we 
used like 5 or 6 different guitar tracks for some of the parts, so you 
may 
hear some things on the recording that I didn't tab out, but i tabed it 
out 
mostly like how we play it live.
