*i know that all of the D-5-'s would be easier as G-0-'s, but it sounds 
 closer to the album to me this way. 

i know that the lead on the bridge is extremely bad, but i've had the 
rest of this tabbed for over a week now, and thought i should go ahead 
and submit it. if i get time with my amp and effects near my computer, 
i'll fix it, if not, anyone else can feel free to. i think the rest of 
the tab is pretty solid, though. this is one of the better songs on the 
album, so i thought i'd give it a go. have fun with it.
