Every tab of this I found didn't sound quite right, so I just watched some live videos of them playing this
song and wrote down what I saw. This is as close as I could get it. Comment if you can see anything that needs
changing. Cheers!
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqG2SSOjM2M&t=0s&list=LLk9PuzaP6AbTJi2tYQtHnaQ&index=2) The video I used to
make this tab.
The above chords are charted relative to the Capo on the 3rd fret. Not gonna lie, I don't know if thats the
exact name of the chords but the finger placings are correct. The intro and other tabbed parts are also
relative to the capo.

After this point, its just an insane layered wall of sound with about 4 different guitar parts that ain't
possible to do by yourself.
Anyway, this is the best I could do. There are two parts that I am not sure about (One note during the intro
and the Asus chord before the "In The Sun" part). Hope this helps.
This is also the first tab I have ever made, so if this is a useless mess, Im sorry.
