Tabbed by Jaakko Karppinen
I have based this tab on the bass track you can find in Youtube, so it should be pretty much 100% correct.
This song may seem like a piece of cake, but the time changes are quite challenging, especially on the main
riff and pre-chorus parts. The drop C# tuning is the most obvious tuning for this song, but when tabbing this
I figured out it could be played in very odd drop C#F# (C#F#C#F#) tuning. It would make some parts a bit
easier to play. I have tabbed this song for a 4 string bass because it can be played on a 4 string very well,
but I actually like to play it on a 5 string with an extra high B string. And some chorus effect suits well
too!
