I tabbed this out b/c the other tab (version 1) just was really confusing to me to
but the chords were pretty much spot on, so I tabbed this out and added times (from the
CD version) and tabbed virtually every section out since he plays them out of the
"order" so much.....this tab doesn't include the electric guitar parts.

I used this YOUTUBE video to help me out:
