Comments:
The copy I have on my computer of this song is really bad quality,
so I'm not exactly sure on everything. Corrections will be appreciated.
Notes:
  - the tuning for Guitar 1 is correct (Drop D, all down a half-step).
  - Guitar 2 may be in normal tuning, which would make the second measure
     of the chorus normal E-shaped barre chords on frets 8 and 10. The
     only reason I think this may be true is that it's easier to play.
  - the second chord in the verse may be another Gb.
  - the intro riff is correct (the notes anyway), but both guitar lines vary
     throughout the song: sometimes playing just chords, sometimes a
     chord/riff mix, and sometimes the arpeggios are slightly different.
  - CHORD NAMES ARE ACTUAL, NOT RELATIVE.
