Classic Hooky bassline, in that it's very melodic and makes absolutely no sense but sounds really cool.
Tuning: EADG (feel free to leave E and A at whatever you'd like, though)

Outro riff #1 (it's a tad chaotic due to Sumner's distorted guitar being really loud, so
use this as a guideline)

There's a few variations Hooky plays here and there, which mostly just involve triplets
and slides - they aren't really worth noting down. These are the basic riffs.
| / slide up
| \ slide down
| h hammer-on
| p pull-off
| ~ vibrato
| + harmonic
| x Mute note
