IMPORTANT!! READ THIS FIRST!!
   There are a few tabs for this song already in existence, but
unfortunately most of them are inaccurate. I’ve noticed that several of them
make the mistake of tabbing out what is actually a keyboard, which is played
in a higher octave than the guitar part. The guitar plays basically the same
riffs but in a lower octave, which, combined with the keyboard, gives the
song its overall sound. I’ve worked out what I believe to be the most
complete and accurate tab for this song that exists to date. I’ve
incorporated both the guitar and keyboard parts for those of you who want to
try playing it using two guitars.
   The lines of tab for “Guitar I” are the normal guitar parts, played on an
acoustic. The tab for “Guitar II” is a guitar arrangement of what the
keyboard plays - notice how during the main riff it is basically doubling
the guitar riff but at a higher octave. And finally, the chords listed below
each line of tab represent the overall tonality of the song created by the
synthesizer in the background.

** GUITAR I = Acoustic Guitar **
** GUITAR II = Keyboard arranged for guitar **
