Tuning: Drop B (B-F#-B-G-B-E)
Jani Liimatainen uses an 7-string guitar where the 7th string is darker (B).
But I have tabbed this in drop B so people with 6 strings can play it!

Outro (04:49):
|-------------|--------------------------------------| The outro part is
|-------------|--------------------------------------| Repeated many times until
|-------------|--------------------| 05:25. At 05:25-| Jani uses
|--8--5--10---|--------------------------------------| a kind of a delay effect.
|--6--3--8----|--------------------------------------| Listen to it and try to
|-------------|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-...-------------------| find it out with your own
. . . . . . . Delay effect. It’s kind
of hard to tab how it
goes with the delay. The
Delay goes slower and
Slower until it stops at
05:32.
