This part of the chorus (riff 3) the bass walks the G, F#, F on the A string.
You can double this with the guitar (as above) or with a F#5, F5 or play
an arpeggio anywhere on the fretboard with a m, m7, 7, 5 chord; however it
fits into your arrangement.
Okay Just for the record, this is my first tab ever posted on a site before
so it might be pretty bad but anyways I've been looking all night for this
tab and found a lot of good ones but none sound exactly like the song. I
think this is almost exactly how it goes.
