** Tune a half-step down **

Verse: 4x
Gb-|--------------|
Db-|--------------| This is played at a
Ab-|--3-----5--4--| pretty slow pace.
Eb-|-----0--------|
Chorus: ( ) = optional notes
Gb-|-------------------|-------------------------|
Db-|*-----------------*|-------------------------|
Ab-|*-2-2-2-2-(0)-(2)-*|-------------------------|
Eb-|-------------------|-3-2-0-3-2-0-3-2-0-3-2-0-|
Repeat above twice then:
Gb-|-----------------------------|
Db-|-----------------------------|
Ab-|-----------------------------|
Eb-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
Play everything above this line ------------- 2x
Then the whole song changes but still play:
Gb-|---------------------------------------------|
Db-|*-------------------------------------------*|
Ab-|*-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2--------------------------*|
Eb-|--------------------3-2-0-3-2-0-3-2-0-3-2-0--|
Then: 2x
Gb-|----------------------|----------------------|
Db-|*--------------------*|----------------------|
Ab-|*--------------------*|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4^-| ^ = bend
Eb-|-5-55-3-33-2-22-0-00--|----------------------|
Then play this 2x:
Gb-|---------------------------------------------------|
Db-|---------------------------------------------------|
Ab-|-3-3-3-3-3-3---------------5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-|
Eb-|-------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-------------------------|
Then he plays a pretty complicated riff
using the |-3---5-4-| pattern, I couldn't
|---0-----|
figure it out, but you can make up your own riff.
I made up a riff and that is what is tabbed down
there. It sounds a little like it, but it isn't
correct. It's still fun to play, though.
Gb-|---------------------------------------------|
Db-|----------------------------7----------4---3-|
Ab-|-3-33-5-5-3------------5-55---5-7-4-44---4---|
Eb-|------------0-00-2-0-2-----------------------|
Gb-|------------------------------------|
Db-|------------------------------------|
Ab-|-3-33-5-5-3------------5-(let ring)-|
Eb-|------------0-00-2-0-2--------------|
As far as I can tell he's using a pick,
so use one if you want to your bass to sound like
the one in the recording. Enjoy.
