After watching the excellent guitar.com interview and being shown how to actually play it all correctly, I tabbed it all for everyone. I didn't do the rhythms, but all the chords are there. If you know this song, you'll get it all anyway. Listen and play along to the Cd for help.
Enjoy.
PS: Copy this and open it in your Notepad/ Word processor and use the Courier font so it will look correct. I will try to post it as courier...
Oh yeah...there are lots and lots and lots of overdubs on this song, this tab pretty much represents the way Opeth plays it live with two guitarists.
