The song is originally played in drop C, but I tabbed it here how it could be played in standard 
E tuning on a 4 string bass. The same exact notes, but some are played on octave higher to compensate 
for the lack of the low B string. Is the bassline 100% like the original? Maybe not 100%, but I picked 
it up by ear and have played it many times through along with the song and it works. 


Intro: Repeat this part twice.

Chorus: Repeat it twice. 

Note that it's essentially the same as the intro, but the strumming slightly differs, where
the next note jumps in a 8th note early in certain places. Count the notes below to see where 
this happens. 

G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-6---6-6----------|
E|---------------1---1-1-4---4-4-4------------------------6--6-6-6-|

G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-3---3-3-3-3-3-------------------3-3-3---------------------------|
E|---------------1---1-1-4---4-4-4-------4---4-4-6---6-6-3---3-3-3-|



Verse 2: The same as Verse 1, except this time it is only played once through, not twice. The asterisk
means that the note is silenced completely.

G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-333*--333*----------------------333*--333*----------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|

G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
