I know this has already been tabbed out three times but none
of them have been completely accurate or even complete. I tried
to put as much information into this as possible; since its hard
to figure out timing from tab I include the counting above the tab.
If you compare this to the CD it is very accurate, so please do
before e-mailing me with any corrections.
