As always listen to the song very carefully,study the parts and have fun.

Rhythm guitarist Takeshi Hosomi)and this song is just unbelievable.

Intro
Verse

Chorus:

The only difference with this chorus is that the lead guitar ends the chorus with 8 and 
10 on the A and G strings after playing the 12 and 14 on the A and G strings.

e|----------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------|
G|-10~------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------|
A|--8~------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------|

Then Bridge:

There is guitar playing while all the feedback is going crazy and the piano is playing 
but I can't figure it out.

This part is the ending of the bridge that builds up to
the chorus.

Then Final Chorus: which is same as previous choruses.

Then outro: which is basically the intro but it ends with guitar 1 ending on 13th fret 
of the low E string (Which is tuned to a D in this song)
and guitar 2 ends on the same string but on the 17th fret.
