I wanted to submit my own tab for this because I didn't like the other ones.
Here is the instrumental version that I used for the time stamps

Its hard to write down the timing exactly so listen carefully to the instrumental version.

There is a single note added to the variation here but I can't figure it out. It won't matter to much though.
