Microscopic View Of A Telescopic Realm

James Donnelly had a very good tab of this song originally.
The below is all my own work before I peeked at his.  James
and I are in close agreement on much of the song. I added a few 
more things like timestamps, a bit more accurate rythm notation
and the solo.
