Chord/Tab song: The Spark That Bled

NOT MINE: Found this on another site and thought it should be on UG as well.
All credit goes to arlen b, who it looks like did a really good job with this.

what an insane song... loads of parts; hopefully i've done a decent job of
transcribing most of them. anything that i've thoroughly screwed up, feel
free to point it out to me, and i'll have another go at it, but i think this
is pretty good for the most part...

standard tuning

chords used:
Amaj7 G#m(aug) F#m(7) F#m F#dim C#m C#m/Bb A B

e--0----(0)------(0)-----2----------4----4-----0----2------------------|
B--2-----4--------2------2----1-----5----5-----2----4------------------|
G--1-----4--------2------2----2-----6----x-----2----4------------------|
D--2-----6--------4------4----4-----6----6-----2----4------------------|
A--0-----6--------4------4----3-----4----4-----0----2------------------|
E--------4---------------2---------------6-----------------------------|

note the intro/verse chord progression is sort of irregularly arpeggiated
and played free hand. the parenthesis are indicative of the high E string
being picked at some point during the arpeggiation of each chord in question.

intro: (Amaj7 G#m(aug)) x2 F#m(7) G#m(aug) Amaj7 G#m(aug)

Amaj7 G#m(aug) Amaj7 G#m(aug)
i accidentally touched my head and noticed i had been bleeding

F#m(7) G#m(aug) Amaj7 G#m(aug)
for how long i didn't know

[F#m] what was [F#dim]this, i thought, that [C#m]struck me'[C#m/Bb]

[F#m] what kind of [F#dim]weapons have they [C#m]got'[C#m/Bb] [F#m] the softest [F#dim]bullet ever [C#m]shot[C#m/Bb]

and then some orchestration with no intelligible guitar (and not much in the way
of basic chords either...)

and then a bridge of sorts:

C#m A, basic chords, played under this riff (approximately):

e----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B----------------------------------------------------------------------|
G----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D--------2-4-4b5-4-2---------------------------------------------------|
A--(2h4)-------------4--2h4--4-2p0-------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------------------|

then what i'm calling the chorus:

E Aadd9 (x07600) Amaj7add9 (x06600) A6add9 (x04600)
i stood up and i said, "yeah!!"

[E] i stood up and i said, "[Aadd9]yeah!!"[Amaj7add9][A6add9]

[E] i stood up and i said, "[Aadd9]hey!! [Amaj7add9]yeah!! [A6add9]yeah!!"[B]

then another bridge of sorts (this is pretty sketchy; VERY basic chords...):

[C#m]
from this moment [C#m]on, blaring like a [F#m(7)]trumpet

Amaj7 G#m(aug)
comin' from above us and somewhere below

the [F#m(7)]confidence of [C#m]knowing

descending to [F#m(7)]relieve us of the struggle to [Amaj7]believe it's [E]so

chorus:

[E] i stood up and i said, "[Aadd9]yeah!!"[Amaj7add9][A6add9]

[E] i spoke up and i said, "[Aadd9]hey!!"[Amaj7add9][A6add9]

[E] i stood up and i said, "[Aadd9]hey!! [Amaj7add9]yeah!! [A6add9]yeah!!"[B]

then another bridge-esque thing (notes in parenthesis indicate notes that
SHOULD be played, but are hard/impossible to get at):

Eadd9 E Caug Cmajb5 C#sus4 C#m G Gmaj7 Bsus4 Bm D5 D5maj7 D

e--2----0----4----2-----------------3----2----0-------------------2-------|
B--0----0----1----1------7-----5----0----0----x----3----3----2----3-------|
G--1----1----x----x------6-----6----0----0----4----4----2----2----2-------|
D--2----2----2----2------6-----6----0----0----4----4----0----0----0-------|
A--2----2---(3)--(3)-----4-----4----2----2----2----2----------------------|
E--0----0---------------------------3----3--------------------------------|

then this trippy little thing (just the rough notes; sort of improv'ed):
[D] [E] [A]

e------5------7-------------7---------9--------------------------------|
B----7------9-------10---10---10---10----------------------------------|
G--7------9-------9----9---------9-------------------------------------|
D----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------------------|

and it seemed to cause a chain reaction
it had momentum; it was gainin' traction
it was all the rage; it was all the fashion
the outreached hands had resigned themselves
to holdin' on to something that they...

[E] [A]

e------7------------7---9----------7---9-------------------------------|
B----9---------10-------------10---------------------------------------|
G--9--------/9----9---9----/9----9---9---------------------------------|
D----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------------------|

...never had, and that's too bad

cos in re[F#m]ality there was [E]no reaction

(Amaj7 G#m(aug)) x2 F#m(7) G#m(aug) Amaj7 G#m(aug)

Amaj7 G#m(aug) Amaj7 G#m(aug)
i accidentally touched my head and noticed i had been bleeding

F#m(7) G#m(aug) Amaj7 G#m(aug)
for how long i didn't know

[F#m]
