The Music: Take The Long Road And Walk It

Key: h: hammer on
p: pull off
b: bend
r: release
The song consists of a number of riffs.

Riff 1
E-------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------
G-------------------------------------
D----7--5-h-7--7--7--5----------------
A-----------------------7--5----------
E-----------------------------8--5----

This is the main riff that plays throughout the song.

Riff 2
E-------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------
G------------------5--5--7-p-5--------
D--7--7--5-h-7--7---------------7-----
A--0----------------------------------
E-------------------------------------

This is the second riff that plays 6 times during the chorus.

Before riff 4, there's a variation on Riff 1 which goes like this:

Riff 3
E--------------------------------------
B-------------------13--15--15-b-(17)--
G--14--12-h-14--14--------------------- x 4
D--------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------


Then it goes fairly dark and sinister for Riff 4, which is:

Riff 4
E------------------------------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------------------------------
G------------------------------------------------------------------
D--7-7-7-7---10-10-10-10---9-9-9-9---12-12-12-12---15-14-----------
A------------------------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------------

(Just pick each note however many times sounds correct to you)

The 4th time this riff is played, it starts to sound more like this:
E------------------------------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------------------------------
G------------------9----9----------9---9---------------------------
D--7-7-7-7---10-10---10---10---9-9---9---9---12-12-12-12---15-14-14
A------------------------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------------

Alternate between that and the first version of Riff 4, until the song goes back to Riff 1. Riff 1 is played twice here, followed by riff 2 once, then Riff 1 once more. Then, go back to playing Riff 4 again.

This continues for a time, before a variation of Riff 4 starts playing:

Riff 5
E---------------------------------------------------------------------
B10-10-10-10---13-13-13-13---12-12-12-12---15-15---17-b-(19)-(19)-r-17
G---------------------------------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------------

The number of times to play the note that I've put here are correct.

Play the riff twice like this.

Then, on the third time, play it as above, except, after the last 12, just hit 15 eight times.

The song then goes into the acoustic slide guitar part. I haven't figured it out properly yet, but if anyone would like to make some suggestions, that would be great.

Then the electric guitar comes back, and the following is played:

Riff 2
Riff 1
Riff 2

then:

E-------------------------------------
B----------5--------------------------
G--7-b-(9)---7-p-5---5----------------
D------------------7---7--5-h-7-------
A-------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------


Riff 2
Riff 2
Riff 2

E---------------------------------------------------------
B----------5---------5---------5--------------------------
G--7-b-(9)---7-b-(9)---7-b-(9)---(9)-r-7-7-p-5---5--------
D----------------------------------------------7---7-5-h-7
A---------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------


E---------------------
B---------------------
G------------5-b-(7)-- x 6
D--7--5-h-7-----------
A---------------------
E---------------------

E----------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------
G--7--7-b-(9)-(9)-(9)-(9)-r-7--7-p-5---5-------
D------------------------------------7---7-----
A----------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------

Then just hit this chord 4 times:

D--7---------------------
A--0---------------------

And then the acoustic slide guitar closes the song.

Well, hope this was some help. Hopefully, more people will submit tabs by The Music.
