Guitar Tab transcribed by Rahul Chacko

Hi, fellow tab-users. I tried looking for this tab around a year ago, and after failing to find it anywhere, gave it up. Eventually, with a little effort, I was able to figure out the basic structure of the song on my own. I thought I'd try putting out a tab to help those in the same predicament that I was.
As I'm new to the tabbing scene, I decided not to attempt transcribing the solos and the tricky technical interlude in the middle of the song. The song itself is very clearly divided into distinct rhythm patterns (apart from the interlude), so I haven't bothered to specify how many times to play a particular sequence. If you're familiar with the track, you should be able to wing it.
If you feel you can improve on this tab, or want to use it elsewhere, feel free. I could have screwed up here and there (criminal for something this simple, I know), so any feedback or general comments would be appreciated. Also if someone knows where I could find more Shadow Gallery guitar tabs, I'd be grateful if they could let me know. mailto: prognut@rediffmail.com
Cheers!
