REVISIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
June 1st, 1999	- started tab, completed up to CHORUS 1.
June 7th, 1999	- fixed a wrong note near the end of LEAD-IN 2 for
			Guitar 1, completed remainder of tab, minor
			editing.
June 13th, 1999	- flanger comment added, minor editing
June 23rd, 1999	- minor editing. (I got a chance to see the music
			video and from what I saw of Tak's playing, it
			looks like I did some things wrong.  I'll
			re-do them when I get the chance.
June 29th, 1999	- inserted vibrato in INTERJECTION 1B.
July 18th, 1999	- minor editing.
Sep. 8th, 1999  - major editing (too many words)
Jan. 10th, 2000	- this tab probably won't be updated anymore since I
			just got the official tablature, so I've no
			need of this one anymore.  Not to mention how
			incredibly cheesy it would be if I just
			copied.  =P
Feb. 20th, 2000 - fixed the harmonics part in the beginning acoustic
			section as best I could.  Just did it by ear,
			but it still doesn't look right compared to
			the music video.
