song order
intro
verse
chorus
heavy distorted part of intro
verse
chorus
solo
guitar part underneath feedback (+ feedback)
tricky acoustic part
intro 1 into heavy ending
intro 2 into heavy ending
fade out
finish
segue 1

Note: I didn't put every note in the largely repeated parts of the intro and 
verse, but those should be figured out quite easily.  Don't expect the 
acoustic parts to sound anything like them played electric, obviously you 
can't play the song without 2 guitarists (or a parker fly).  On a different 
note, greg starts out segue 1 with his heavily overdriven bass (probably the 
same notes as the guitar), and the guitar parts come in later, along with 
feedback.  Also make sure to drop both Eb's to Db's, or else you'll think 
this tab really sucks.
