There aren't very many tries at this song, so I thought I would give it a go.
One note:  The first guitar that plays the ambient sounds uses an EBow.  It's not
necessary, but will sound a whole lot better.  The number of times each chord is played
isn't written out, but it's not too hard to hear it in the song.  Let me know if you see
any mistakes/have corrections!

Tuning: Standard

Interlude (And if we are fine here...if we don't hide here, they're going to find...)
Just electric part, each note is picked as 32nd notes.  This part is somewhat hard to
hear, so the number after each note is how many beats it takes.
