    h   -> hammer on.     |  over or down, like G|-13-...

    + + -> the rhythm of the song, generally 4x4. If there are 2 digits notes
           or there's no enough space, I lengthen it, 
           from (+   +   ...) to (+       +      ...) 
    |·------·| -> repeat this a number of times, for example |·3-3-3-3·| x4
                  repeats 3-3-3-3 four times.

This song was very difficult to tab. There are a lot of ghost notes 
("What was that? The drum? The bass? The guitar? A echo? Aghhh!! BuM!"), 
and the tempo is very rare, so i wrote a 5 beats tempo in all the song except
the bridge, that is 4/4.
