Song: Requiem (The Fifth)
Artist: Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Album: Beethoven's Last Night

Time: 4/4
Tempo: 140 (I'm not 100% sure. You can experiment with the tempo.)

*UPDATES*
Original Version: Only contained fret numbers and very unorganized.
Ver. 2.0: Greatly cleaned up the tab, assigned rhythms to fret numbers.
Ver. 2.1: Added misc. details (i.e. Song/Artist/Album; Time/Tempo; etc.).
Ver. 2.2: Went through a final time and ripped out anything unneeded.
Ver. 2.3: Added time 'n'-time 'n' for sections
Ver. 2.4: Fully completed. Every detail put in its correct place.
Gtr I (D A D G B e) - Lead
Gtr II (D A D G B e) - Rhythm

Those're the Riffs/Rhythm Figures you'll need to know.
This is the order you play them:
================================
--Intro Riff - x1
--Main Riff (w/o Added Section) - Rhythm: x6;; Lead - x1
--Chorus Riff - x2
--Main Riff (w/ Added Section both times) - Rhythm: x12;; Lead - x2 (Skip last note in 
Section 2nd time)
--Operatic Slide Riff - x1
--Main Riff (w/ Added Section) - Rhythm: x6;; Lead - x1 (Skip last note in Added Section)
--Chorus Riff - x2 (Play last measure a 3rd time while rit.)
--Intro Riff - x1 (Sustain final note much longer; Lead moves down to 10th fret; 
Strike chord again)

TABULATURE LEGEND

Q. - Dotted Quarter note (1 1/2 beats)
H - Half note (2 beats)
W - Whole note (4 beats)
L - Sustain note

n^^n - Sustain note for 'n' duration across barline for 'n' duration.

/\ - Slide up or down (n/n, n\n)
(n) - Ghost note (Usually a note held across a barline; Used with 'n^^n')
rit. (ritard/ritardando) - Gradually slow down

That's it.... I apologize if it's hard to understand.
It's a simple song for beginners, and a favorite of mine....
Also, I wish to assure you, this WAS NOT taken from a tab book or another site. 
Regardless of it's details, this was all of my work.
So please don't comment saying that it's plagiarized.
