Cranberries, The/"Empty" tablature

Question
Can you tell where to find/what is the tab for "empty" by the cranberries?

Answer
I can tell you the chords.  The timing of the song is 4/4.  The chords are:

The intro is no specific chord, just a sequence of notes
(A E B, G# D# B, A C# B, A C# B {repeat twice})

When you hear a guitar strummed that's when the chords begin.  They are:

Asus2 (4 counts), G#m (4 counts), and Asus2 (8 counts){THEN REPEAT}.

Then you play the following FIVE times:

Esus4, G#m/B, Asus2, A (all for 4 counts)


Now you will come upon the "Say a prayer for me..." part which goes like this.
Play the following FIVE times:

Am, C, G, Em (all for 4 counts)

continue playing that throughout the chorus and the strings part.  The song ends with Am.

I know virtually all lyrics, ALL guitar/piano chords or tabs from first three albums and several from Bury The Hatchet and b-sides. Extensive knowledge of the history of the band and stories behind many songs. Know about many of Dolores side projects. I can even tell you how to decipher Dolores writing style from Noels, and many personal facts about the band members especially Dolores. Also, what producers/engineers/session musicians they have worked with and limited knowledge of the equipment they use.
