[chorus]

x is strum, but mute the strings at the neck
h is a hammer on
p is a pull off
/ is a SLIDE UP throughout this tab- there no chords with non-root notes
in the bass, so "Gm/Bb" is Gm at the 3rd fret, then slide up to Bb at the
6th and NOT Gm with Bb in the bass, same goes for Bb/Cm and F/Gm

I've tabbed most of this song out, but it'll be ages before I get to key
it all in. Here's a couple of the main picked parts(* and + in the
chorus), if you want the full monty in tab then send me a mail.
