R = Rest, I left them in to help keep time
/ & \ = Slide
p = Pull-off
h = Hammer-on
? = Couldn't figure it out accurately, best guess, improvise if you like
(#-#) = You may have noticed these at the ends of the lines, they're just a quick
for sequential notes, ignore them if they confuse you

--Comments--
----****----
This is my first tab so go easy... There are a lot of little variations on the bass in
song which is why such a seemingly simple song has such a long
tab. I think it's fairly accurate for the most part. I'm really not sure if this song
between the A string and the E string (D-string with the
tuning, however you wanna look at it) or if it's all on the E string like I have it
here. Try it both ways and see how you like it better.
For example the 'Main' bassline could be:
G------------------------------------------|
D------------------------------------------|
A-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-6-6-6-6-6-6-6------------|
D-------------------------------7- (8-7-1)-|
G----------------------------------------|
D----------------------------------------|
A-----------------8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8--------|
D-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8----------------- (8-8)-|
