Almost the entire thing is played on double digit frets so I just took 1's out 
for a cleaner looking tab. 

Comment or message any ideas or corrections. Please rate my tab. If you've got 
problems with the tab, I'd encourage you to contact me with those problems so I 
can fix the tab or provide advice for playing. Don't just give me a poor rating 
and not give me any feedback. The idea is for us all to work together to create 
a perfect finished product. This tab just represents the best I can do. It's 
definitely up for peer review. 

Key: 
where # represents a fret number 

#h# - hammer 
#p# - pull 
/ \ - slides, up and down respectively. 
#b# - bend from normal note up to achieve bended note. 
#r# - release bend from bended note to normal note. 
pb# - on fret #, bend up a whole step then attack and release 
 b  - picking at top of bend and then mute 
#b  - a slight bend a.k.a. a curl or a lean. 
 x  - mute 
 ~  - extend. play a hammer or pull-off over a longer time period 
 *  - beat progression. 
 @  - symbol substitution.
