On the first tab I'll put a line for the timing (1,2,3,4) above it. It will
be sort of long and drawn out, but the rest will be at double the rate.

e--------------
B|-9--9---9--9--
G|-9--9---9--9--

^This may be completely wrong but the G and B strings should be right.
Each time on the C#m, Guitar 1 plays:
1 - - - 2 - - - 3 - - - 4 - - - 1 - - - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 – 1 -

At the breakdown before the piano part he moves around some octaves like:
G|-6-9-9-7-6-6-6-4-9-7-6-
D| I have no idea how he moves these around.
A|-4-7-7-5-4-4-4-2-7-5-4-
I love this song. I think the whole "waiting for the rain to stop,
destination:beautiful" part is talking about heaven, but I'm not sure. Dave
has some really thought-provoking lyrics on this album.
