NOTES from the transcribers:
Because of all the strings and other arrangements on here this tablature
was extremely difficult to transcribe Although we believe it to be
more than fairly accurate should you find any error whatsoever please mail
either of us
 
Also, it seems during the interlude parts that Daniel just plays a normal
C chord but for the sake of melody we transcribed the "lead" parts
 
Well here goes!
