Sorry this took so long, had to arrange for my brother to get on a computer
and have at it :) I hope you enjoy it, despite the wait. This has also been
posted on alt.guitar.tab and rec.music.makers.guitar.tablature.

NOTE: this tab was done by my brother, who has no net.account. I tried to
edit some of the instructions to be clearer and everything, but I may not
have succeded in all cases :) :) Apologies if you don't understand parts of
it. Questions, comments, or requests for more to [email protected] and I'll
forward them to him. - Ian

 Sorry, no solo yet, but soon.

 Everything should be fairly obvious. When I have more time I'll tab
 some more stuff- the complete Bastille Day with some of the solo, the
 Natural Science solo, Entre Nous, complete The Trees, Closer To The
 Heart, Freewill, Show Don't Tell, Working Man, 2112, maybe more too :)
