I've seen one tab for this...and it's horribly wrong. This tab however, should be 100%
correct...or close to it.
Key:
x = times a number
* = let it ring
Intro/Verse (play with the piano)
G:-----------------|
D:2-2-0------------|
A:------3-3-----5-5|
E:----------3-3----|
There is a riff that is a variation of the above riff. It is...
G:--9-7-----------5-3-------------------------7-5--------|
D:------9-7-----------5-3-------5-3---------------7-5----|
A:7---------9-7-3---------5-3-------5-3-----5---------7-5|
E:----------------------------3---------5-3--------------|
Chorus

G:---------------------------|-----------------------------|
D:---------------------------|-------------------7---10*---|
A:--------------3--3-3--3-3-3|--------------0--0---0-----7*|
E:3--3-3--3-3-3--------------|3--3-3--3-3-3----------------|
Solo:
Solo is the verse
That's it, you should be able to figure out the order. It really is a nice song, got a kickass
solo too. The bassline is cool, and you can variate and add in some slides...i do. Any
questions or comments, then e-mail me at rocklvson@yahoo.com

How to Read Bass Tab: A Beginner's Guide
1. Understanding the Basics
a. Strings:
Bass tab consists of horizontal lines representing the strings of the bass guitar. The lowest-pitched string (usually the E string) is at the bottom, and the highest-pitched string (usually the G string) is at the top.
b. Numbers:
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to play on a specific string. For example, if you see "3" on the E string, it means you should press down the third fret on the lowest string.
2. Reading Bass Tab Example
In this tab:
- Play the note on the 1st fret of the E string.
- Play the open E string.
- Play the 3rd fret on the A string.
- Play the 1st fret on the A string.

D|-----------------|
A|---------3-------|
E|---1-1---1---3---|
3. Playing Techniques
a. Hammer-ons and Pull-offs:
Hammer-ons are represented by an "h" (e.g., 5h7 means play the 5th fret and hammer onto the 7th fret). Pull-offs are represented by a "p" (e.g., 7p5 means play the 7th fret and pull off to the 5th fret).
b. Slides:
Slides are often indicated by an "/" or "\\" between two numbers (e.g., 5/7 means slide from the 5th fret to the 7th fret).
