*NOTE*
This is my rendition of the song, done by ear and other tabs.
I firmly believe this version is correct. The first two tabs were not
as good as they could've been. Good attempts, though. The fact that
those users tried is impressive enough.

If you know the song well enough, you can figure out the timing.
Sorry for not tabbing the timing this time around.
