Ok, so I really love this bass part and
was disappointed to find that there
were no tabs for it online. I decided to tab
it myself and then I felt bad that there
were no tabs online for anyone else
because its such an awesome song.
I tried to get as much of the variations as
possible, although I'm sure I missed some of them.
If you don't want to bother learning all the little
nuances, just play the first line of each section for
the whole part. Or you could always improvise your own little riffs~
