If I remember correctly, there's no bass in the first verse, but I can't remember whether Mike was playing anything in the first verse or not on VH1 Storytellers. The guitar in this song is Drop D tuning, not sure if the bass is as well or if he just plays the D on the 2nd string in standard tuning. Good tab though.
