Ok I'm making this because there doesn't seem to be any correct tabs of this song for
bass so I am giving it to you now. This song is played with a pick on an acoustic bass
btw. I may not have spaced out the notes appropriately at specific parts so just listen
to the song to get the flow of when to change parts. I learned this by ear, don't worry I
have good ears. :)
Intro
G|-----------------| D|--5--3---2--0----| Then it goes straight into the verse A|---------------2-| E|-----------------|
Main Riff/Verse
G|-----------0--0------------------------------------------| D|---------0-------3--2--0--------------0--3-2---0---------| A|----1/2-------------------3--2--3--2---------3---0-2-----| E|3------------------------------------------------------3-|
Main Riff/Verse Variation Going Into Chorus
G|-------------0--0-----------------------------------| D|----------0--------3--2--0--------------------------| A|-----1/2--------------------3--2--3--2--5--3--2--0--| E|--3-------------------------------------------------|
P.S. you don't do the last part of the verse variation and the beginning of the chorus
twice, they are the same notes, thus they are the same part.

Just listen to the song to change parts but these are all the bass riffs through out the
song. Enjoy!
