Anyone have Oh, Sleeper tabs?

Alright, so Oh, Sleeper is one of my favorite heavy bands, but I'm new to bass, and they're not super popular, so playing by ear AND finding bass tabs is hard for me. Anybody else here like them? Tabbed them? Children Of Fire, their newest release, is awesome. I'd love anyone who could tab or get notes for anything on the whole album. Oh, and if you like technical guitars, fast, brutal riffs, catchy cleans, crazy screams, and insane (not to mention Christian) passion, check out Children Of Fire :)
 
Hey, dude. Glad to see more Oh, Sleeper fans on here. I haven't listened to the new album as much as the old stuff, but I think I can help with a few riffs here and there.

Pretty sure they're in Drop C. At least that's what they're older material was in.

The song "Children of Fire" starts off with breakdown and the lead riff. The bass is following the rhythm guitar and the notes are F (5th fret), G# (8th fret), G (7th fret), F (5th fret), D# (3rd fret).

I'm not 100% sure if the bass follows the chromatic run or not, but I'm pretty sure it starts on C, which would be the 5th fret of the A string (or the G string, since it's tuned down).

I believe it goes something like this:
F|--------------------------------------
C|-------------------------7-8-10-8-7--
G|-------5-7-8-7-5-7-8-10--------------
C|-5-7-8--------------------------------

This whole section (including the breakdown) is repeated, then it goes G# (8th fret) to E (4th fret). It then proceeds into a variation of the breakdown once and the second time ends with the same run (I think).

This should give you a pretty good idea of most of the song. I can try to figure out some more parts if you want, but a large portion of the song is just knowing the notes in the breakdown, the chromatic run, and the variations of the breakdown.

That's all I have right now from their new album. I can try to work on some more later if you want!

Hope this helps. If anything is confusing just let me know!
