    Intro:

    e------------------------------------------------------------------
    b----------------------------12------------------------------------
    g-----------------9-11-12-9----------------------------------------
    d-----------9------------------------------------------------------
    a---7-7-7-7-7------------------------------------------------------
    E------------------------------------------------------------------

    e------------------------------------------------------------------
    b------12-10-12-8-12-7-12---12-10-12-8-12-7-12---------------------
    g---9---------------------9----------------------------------------
    d------------------------------------------------------------------
    a------------------------------------------------------------------
    E------------------------------------------------------------------

    e------------------------------------------------------------------
    b------------------------------------------------------------------
    g------------------------------------------------------------------
    d---------------10-9-7-----7-----------7-----9-7-------------------
    a-----10-----7---------10----10-7-9-10---10------10-7-9------------
    E-----8------------------------------------------------------------

    e------------------------------------------------------------------
    b------------------------------------------------------------------
    g------------------------------------------------------------------
    d------------------------------------------------------------------
    a-----9----------------9-------------------------------------------
    E-----7-77777777777777-7-------------------------------------------
        ..............
   
    Then, repeat, except for:
   
    e------------------------------------------------------------------
    b------12-10-12-8-12-7-12---12-------------------------------------
    g---9---------------------9----8--9(a.h.)--------------------------
    d------------------------------------------------------------------
    a------------------------------------------------------------------
    E------------------------------------------------------------------
   
    at the end, it goes like this:

    e------------------------------------------------------------------
    b------------------------------------------------------------------
    g------------------------------------------------------------------
    d------------------------------------------------------------------
    a-----9----------------9-----9-7-5-4-2-------------------------------
    E-----7-77777777777777-7--77-7-5-3-2-0-------------------------------
        .............. ..
       
    Verse:

    e------------------------------------------------------------------
    b------------------------------------------------------------------
    g------------------------------------------------------------------
    d-----------------------------------2---------------5----7---------
    a---2-------------------------------0-0-0-000-0-00--3----5---------
    E---0--0-0-000-0-0---000-0-000-0-00--------------------------------
    . . ... . . ... . ... . .. . . ... . ..    

    On the second time, there is a tempo break that I can't exactly transcribe, you'll have to figure it out by yourself. The difference is that the E chord lasts a little longer.

    Chorus:

    e------------------------------------------------------------------
    b------------------------------------------------------------------
    g------------------------------------------------------------------
    d---5----9---7-----------------------------------------------------
    a---3----7---5--7--------------------------------------------------
    E---------------5--000000000000000---------------------------------    
   
   
    Strike a D5 chord and go back to intro riff.
   
    Play verse again, chorus again, strike the D5 chord again and go to this part:

    e------------------------------------------------------------------
    b------------------------------------------------------------------
    g------------------------------------------------------------------
    d---------------------4p3------------------------------------------
    a----4-44-4-44-4-4444-----4-44-4-44--4h5p4-2-4-2-------------------
    E------------------------------------------------5-4---------------    
.. .. .... .. .. . . . . .
    e------------------------------------------------------------------
    b------------------------------------------------------------------
    g------------------------------------------------------------------
    d---------------------4p3-------------5\4--------------------------
    a----4-44-4-44-4-4444-------6--6--77--3\2--------------------------
    E---------------------------4--4--55-------------------------------    
.. .. .... . . ..

    Repeat the first part, and then
   
    e------------------------------------------------------------------
    b------------------------------------------------------------------
    g------------------------------------------------------------------
    d---------------------4p3-------------7----------------------------
    a----4-44-4-44-4-4444-------6--6--77--5----------------------------
    E---------------------------4--4--55-------------------------------    
.. .. .... . . ..


    A flute enters. Guitar plays this:

    e------------------------------------------------------------------
    b------------------------------------------------------------------
    g------------------------------------------------------------------
    d----6-----6-----6--------4-----6--------4----6--------------------
    a----4-4-4-4-4-4-4...-4-4-2-4-4-4----2---2--3-4... (repeat)--------
    E------------------------------------0-----------------------------
    . . . . . . . .


    Strike C# 7 times before striking the B.

    After this, repeat the whole first part again.

    There's a strings part and then the guitar enters.

    e------------------------------------------------------------------
    b------------------------------------------------------------------
    g------------------------------------------------------------------
    d------------------------------------------------------------------
    a-----2------------------------------------------------------------
    E-----0------------------------------------------------------------    

    e------------------------------------------------------------------
    b------------------------------------------------------------------
    g------------------------------------------------------------------
    d--7--------------------------------------------------------------
    a--5---2------------2-----------2-----------------------------------
    E------0--00-000-00-0-00-000-00-0-0-00-000--------------------------
        .. ... .. .. ... .. . .. ...

    I'm not very sure if this strumming is correct. Good luck :P
   
   
    e------------------------------------------------------------------
    b------------------------------------------------------------------
    g------------------------------------------------------------------
    d---7-7-5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----------------------------------
    a---5-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3... (repeat the chord 8 times)-----
    E------------------------------------------------------------------
        . . . . . . . .

    e------------------------------------------------------------------
    b------------------------------------------------------------------
    g------------------------------------------------------------------
    d----9-----12-10-9-------------------------------------------------
    a----7-------------12-10-9--------10-------------------------------
    E--------------------------12-10--8--------------------------------

    This passage is very low... I'm not even sure if this is really a guitar, but I guess it is. However, if you don't play it and go straight to the C chord, no-one will notice :)

    Well, after that:

    e------------------------------------------------------------------
    b------------------------------------------------------------------
    g------------------------------------------------------------------
    d----9-------7--------------------------7---9\---------------------
    a----7-------5-------7------------------5---7\--------------------                 E--------------------5---0000000000--------------------------------
                .......... ( I won't count how many times!)
   
    Again, only strings... (Without yooou the poetry in me... blabla)
       
   

    e------------------------------------------------------------------
    b------------------------------------------------------------------
    g------------------------------------------------------------------
    d----*/5-/7-/9*------7-9-10-9-7-7-9-7---9-7------------------------
    a-----/7-/9-/10~----------------------9-7-5-5---7------------------
    E-------------------------------------------3---5------------------
   
    (*The harmony is played by a second guitar)

    Guitar solo:
   
    e-------------------------------------------------3-5-6~-----------
    b-------------6p4-6-4-3----3h4-6-4-3--------3-4-6------------------
    g----5b7~~--------------5~--------------3-5------------------------
    d-------------------------------------5----------------------------
    a------------------------------------------------------------------
    E------------------------------------------------------------------


    e------5h6p5\3-----------------------------------------------------
    b--------------6~~---10h11-11--10-8h10p8---------------------------
    g---------------------7/10-10--10-7h10p7-(guitar 2)----------------
    d------------------------------------------------------------------
    a------------------------------------------------------------------
    E------------------------------------------------------------------

    aaaaaaaah you don't expect my poor self to tab out all those fast notes, do you? The only help I can ofer you is that it's in Eb major. Have a good time!

    Later, after Emppu's epileptic attack, we have this:
   
   
    e----------------------------13----------------------13------------
