This is my first tab. If you find any mistakes, please post a
correction so that we can make this as accurate as possible!
Update 11/6/09: Made several corrections to Verse 1, redid most of the
tremolo sections, made slight changes to guitar 2's part in the "phantom
walks to the sea" and "lost it all" sections. I promise you this tab is at
least 95% accurate.
