I used the live version from this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWKijFN6hO8&feature=related)
video to tab it out. So it might sound a bit different than the studio version.
Oh and lots of credit to patch17 for several parts of this. He really nailed most of it.
Any problems or suggestions, just comment.
