Guitar Tab

Well here's my TAB of Slayer's Divine Intervention, the title track off their
new album.  I'm not 100% sure about one or two of the chords in Riff 2 but
it's all here.  (Full lyrics are included)
If anybody spots any mistakes be sure to let me know!  :-)

Enjoy...

Lee.

NB: I'm not 100% if these rhythm 0/2's are heavy palm-mutes or played open and
    then quickly muted, maybe it's a combination of both - suggestions as always
    are more than welcome!  :-)
