I exported this from the Ptb i made in order to make it accessible for all. It needed a 
of clearing up, resulting in simplifying the chord names in the tab

itself. If there are any other unclear bits, msg me and ill sort them out. Or download 
ptb from ultimate-guitar.com

Watch Out for the time sig. changes. They're all over the place.
Thanks to Alisdair MacRae-Birch, jazz guitarist, for some pointers in TS notation, from 
i was able to decipher the rest
O/D lead guitar, crunch rhythm guitar.
