(if you have the lead then please post it!)> "Now They'll Sleep", Belly

Changes:Here's the revised edition of my tab for "Now They'll Sleep" by
Belly.  I've Figured out the beginning as best as i could with an
acoustic guitar.  I'm working on Tom's part with the D chord.  The lead
stuff should be easy enought to figure out, but i'm not good at that stuff.
Can someone tell me the effects settings on  the song?
