        so i thought i would give it a shot.  So here is my version of it.
        I hope you use it and enjoy it.  I would REALLY appreciate some
        comments on the tabs i've written
        and this one, seeing as i've gotten a grand total of 2 messages.
        I did this one in just under 1 hour so be gentle:)

[Lots of distortion OR fire up the old Big Muff]

This is [MAIN RIFF A]: Play 4x's solo, then drums come in.
||---------------x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---|
||---------------x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---|
||---7--------7--x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---|
||---------------x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---|
||---5--------5--x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---|
||------0--0-----x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---|
                 [VERY light palm mute]

Play [MAIN RIFF A] 8x's under the band.
On the fourth time with the band [GUITAR 2] plays this:

||-----|
||-15~-|
||-----|
||-----|
||-----|
||-----|

Then comes a drum fill and BOOM:
[GUITAR 1] and [GUITAR 2] play [MAIN RIFF A] 12x's in unison.
on 5th and 9th time, play this fill:
||-----------------------------------|
||-----------------------------------|
||11/12-12\11-11/14--14/16--17~~-----|
||-----------------------------------|
||-9/10-10\-9--9/12--12/14--15~~-----|
||-----------------------------------|

Play this 4x's directly after
the [MAIN RIFF] above:
/----------------------------\
[MAIN RIFF B]:
||----------------x-x-x-x-x-x------------------------------------------|
||----------------x-x-x-x-x-x------------------------------------------|
||--7---7-7--7-7--x-x-x-x-x-x--to-end----7-----------------------------|
||----------------x-x-x-x-x-x-----------------5------------------------|
||--5---5-5--5-5--x-x-x-x-x-x------------5----5-(sustain)--into singing|
||----------------x-x-x-x-x-x-----------------5------------------------|
    ^          ^  [light palm mute]
^ - emphasize these strokes

Drums and base under singing:

 I hear your winter...

This gets play under the following:
 ||----------------|
 ||----------------|
 ||--7--7----------|
 ||--7--7----5-----|
 ||--5--5----5-----|
 ||----------5-----|

 I hear what you...

Then another drum fill into: This part is tuff
[MAIN RIFF] 15x's , throughout this whole part.
Like before, these fills are placed according to the how many times the
[MAIN RIFF] has been played.

On the 5th time play this riff 3 time:
||---------------------------|
||---------------------------|
||11/12-12\11-11/14--14~~----|
||---------------------------|
||-9/10-10\-9--9/12--12~~----|
||---------------------------|

then:

||-----------------------------------|
||-----------------------------------|
||11/12-12\11-11/14--14/16--17~~-----|
||-----------------------------------|
||-9/10-10\-9--9/12--12/14--15~~-----|
||-----------------------------------|

then starts some crazy stuff..somthing like
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
||-18~~---18---18-18---18-18--18-18-18-18--19----19-19---19-19--19-19-19-19|
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
||-16~~---16---16-16---16-16--16-16-16-16--17----17-17---17-17--17-17-17-17|
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
||-21----21-21---21-21--21-21-21-21-21-21-21-21-21-21----------------------|
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
||-19----19-19---19-19--19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19--into-some-other-stuff
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

THEN starts some soloing that i'm too lazy to figure out right now.
Keep in mind that all this is being played under the [MAIN RIFF A] thats
being played 15 times.  Just listen to the CD and fake it :)

[just base here]: quiet singing, a few pick scrape with some effects

 I hear you fade...

 ||----------------|
 ||----------------|
 ||--7--7----------|
 ||--7--7----5-----|
 ||--5--5----5-----|
 ||----------5-----|

 I hear what you...

Then, to finish:
This 2x's:
||-------------------------------------------------------------------
||-------------------------------------------------------------------
||-11--11--1111--111111111111--12---12---12-12---12-12-12-12-12-12---
||-------------------------------------------------------------------
||--9---9---9-9---9-9-9-9-9-9--10---10---10-10---10-10-10-10-10-10---
||-------------------------------------------------------------------

  ---------------------------------------|
  ---------------------------------------|
  -14---14---14-14--14-14-14-14-14-14----|
  ---------------------------------------|
  -12---12---12-12--12-12-12-12-12-12----|
  ---------------------------------------|

Then this: The drums match the strums here
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
||-7---7---7--------7---7---7--------------------7-7--7---7----7------7----|
||-7---7---7--------7---7---7--7-7--7---7----7------7----|
||-5---5---5--------5---5---5--------------------5-5--5---5----5------5----|
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
                                                 Keeps slowing down into
                                                 BIG time feedback.

Thats its.
