Guitar & Bass Tabbed by: bear_rides Put this together back in the day when I attempted to cover the song and couldn't find a decent pre-existing version. It is my first and only venture into transciption. I found a number of inversions that are just as easy to play but this worked well for me. Hope you enjoy it!

[Guitar 1]
Intro/verse/chorus (alternate picking makes the string skipping easier, 
                    you want to let it ring out)

The bass lines are played on a piccolo bass. If you don't have one it still sounds fine and if you really wanted you could use a pitch shifter to move it up an octave.

[Bass 1]
Verse/chorus (you can add extra plucks on the first 7, 10 and 8
              but its the kick drum that gives that impression)
G|--------------------------7----|
D|---------------------/7h9---9--|
A|--/7----5--/10-----------------|
E|----------------8--------------|

Bridge (there is a piano line that mimics most of these notes, 
        listen for the timing, its quite slow)
G|----------------0-----------------------------------------------------|
D|----------4-------------------------9~----10~--12~--------------------|
A|--7~----7---7-----------------7---------------------10~----9~---------|
E|----------------------7~----7---7------------------------------7h8-7--|

[Bass 2]
Bridge-overdub (its a steady continuous pluck here, i just 
                added spaces to make counting easier)
