------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: This is my version of it, I combined the other tabs I found of it and also put in some of my own things. This is how I play it, there's some things I havn't included, for example there's some notes being played in the background of "They crowned the sun..".
