Vanishings

Song: Vanishings 
By: Secret and Whisper
Album: Great White Whale
2008
Tuning: Drop C (CGCFAD)

This is my first tab. If you find any mistakes, please post a 
correction so that we can make this as accurate as possible!

Update 11/6/09: Made several corrections to Verse 1, redid most of the 
tremolo sections, made slight changes to guitar 2's part in the "phantom
walks to the sea" and "lost it all" sections. I promise you this tab is at
least 95% accurate. 

Tab legend: 
*:Palm mute

it’s only guitar 1, the second and third time, both guitars 
play it. The third time, don’t do the two slides at the end.
