This tab mainly fits the Takes 5 & 6 version but it fits the original too. It is just a lot more prominent in
Takes 5 & 6 so it sounds better played with that version.

************************************
This song is really repetitive but is still such an awesome song. The bass line
is pretty "fat" in this song.
