When I try and download the zip it gives me a "Page not found" error. Seems like somethings not right so could you please re-up the zip? Same issue with your post in the Works in Progress section.

Fixed

Nice sounding song :) Tab sounds good but I noticed a couple things that could be improved upon. In some places the notes can be awkward to switch to while letting the bass notes ring. The first 2 bars for example:

     E  E  E  E  Q.     S S    E  E  E  E  H         
E||--2--4--5--9--7----------|--------4-----5--------|
B||--3------------------9-7-|--5--7-----5--7--------|
G||--2-----------9----------|--6-----------6--------|
D||--0-----------9----------|--6-----------4--------|
A||--------------7----------|--4--------------------|
D||-------------------------|-----------------------|

^ I'd prefer to play the melody notes from within the bass note's 'chord box' or at least pretty close to it so I can keep the bass note ringing out as long as possible throughout the bar. If you didn't already know, you can slide notes around between strings with Alt+Up and Alt+Down.

One other thing I noticed is that the multiple voices are clashing with each other in Bar 6. The quarter note 2 on the second voice isn't letting the 16th notes 2 and 4 on the first voice sound out correctly. You should probably switch those two 16th notes to the lower voice.

Also Bar 32 seems a bit difficult to play (at least for me :P)

Besides all that, I think the tab sounds good.

Thanks!

Good catch! i'd neglected the start once i'd written it out, but definitely can see it being a lot easier without having to go all the way up the fretboard and down again so i'll edit that in real quick. Same goes for Bar 6 thanks for that. I don't think there's a whole lot i can do about bar 32 though, it's tricky for sure but i can't change the high G without altering the flow of the song (as it's ascending to that point). Likewise with the 7-12 stretch in bar 32, i play predominantly with a classical guitar that reaches the body at fret 12 without a cutout so i'm hesitant to make it something like this

E|-10--12-13-----15--12--------------|
B|-----------------------------------|
G|-----------9---------------14------|
D|-----9-----------------14----------|
A|-7-----------------12--------------|
E|-----------------------------------|

i think i'm just gonna leave that bit alone and be thankful it's only one bar so far up the register :P

It's not impossible

I've got a steel string with a cutaway. It really comes in handy! Bar 32 isn't exactly impossible to play. I can anchor my index finger on the A-string 7, Middle on D-string 9, Ring on e-string 10, and then stretch my pinky to 12 before having to release that hand position to Pinky 13 and Index 9, then shift it up to 15 real quick and back down to the 7-12 stretch where the 9-10 can be fretted easily. It isn't easy, though lol
