Play verse once again: Play chorus 4 times: [Middle Eight] I'm not really sure about the next part since it's very hard to hear what's going on there. I assume that it is mostly slapped & popped since this is what every bass player did live but you can achieve a very similar sound playing with a pick. Anyway, this is how I'm playing it. You can skip those dead notes if those do not make any sense to you.

Don't slap the last dead note but make a heavy accent on it using your fingers to get the right feel. As soon you'll do it, you'll understand what I meant by it. Play bridge once again: Play chorus part till the end. / slide up \ slide down h hammer-on p pull-off ~ let ring s slap p pop ^ heavily accented note
