Christmas Eve and other Stories

Ok, here's the deal..... the other tabs were straight out WRONG!
Some parts of them were right, however, it didn't have good count
or timing.  I did some tweaking, played it over and over, and finally
got it right. THIS IS THE CORRECT TAB!

After listening over and over, I found there are actually 4 guitars.
GTR 1 has the high leads,
GTR 2 usually has the same as GTR 1, only lower.
GTR 3 does the haunting 5-0-0-5 part throughout the entire song.
GTR 4 actually has the instrument part throughout the entire song, with
violins, bells, piano, etc.... but it's EXTREMELY quiet.
GTR 3 and 4 aren't all that important, therefore i didn't tab them.

KEY:
^ After a note (12^)= Bend up 1/2 step
~ = Tremello and hold out a little bit longer
CRESC. = Crescendo (slowly louder)
X = Mute
x like 3x= Repeat 3 Times (1x, do only Once, duh!)
\ = Slide Down
/ = Slide up
h = Hit (accent)
(fret #) = This fret Note is Optional (But sounds better)
